GTA: 10 Ridiculous Things EVERYONE Does
7. Jump From A Tremendous Height
There's actually a few reasons we do this, the first being, to test the limits of the game. So, we find a helicopter or plane, fly as high as the game will let us and simply, jump out. Which immediately brings us to the second reason we do this, to get a good view of the landscape in the game, check the draw distance and such like.
Yes, we could do this when in the vehicle itself, but we are burdened by the camera angle, and the aircraft itself blocking some of the view.
Finally, onto the last reason we perform this ridiculous action, it gives us the free falling sensation of skydiving, without being in any actual danger. This is by far the safest way any of us with a deathly fear of heights, will ever come to the feeling that we're flying. The perfect solution to an unsolvable problem.
Wait, I forgot the last, last reason. We like to see our character splat on the concrete.
