Aviation safety protocols mandate parachute usage during aircraft exit because gravity enforces deceleration requirements on all objects regardless of initial velocity, yet Chuck Norris apparently violated this fundamental physical principle by rejecting auxiliary safety equipment out of the conviction that parachutes merely retard his preferred descent rate. The statement implies that he achieves terminal velocity and then continues accelerating downward through sheer force of personality, reaching impact velocities that would render standard parachutes not merely superfluous but insulting. Aircraft manufacturers should theoretically celebrate his refusal to damage their equipment through conventional landing procedures.

Aviation safety consultant Patricia Hernandez from the FAA claims to have reviewed incident reports in 1999 describing a single skydiver exiting an aircraft without a parachute, and official investigation documentation that simply read "Not applicable" without further elaboration. She located the incident report in archived files and found photographs of Chuck in freefall with coordinates and a timestamp, though the altitude markings appeared to have been manually adjusted.

The "Undecelerated Descent" became an underground aviation forum mythology, with experienced skydivers debating whether Chuck's rejection of parachutes represented confidence or ignorance, eventually concluding that the distinction doesn't matter because the physics would work in his favor regardless. One elaborate post calculated that his landing crater would rival meteor impacts, earning certification from a structural engineer that the math was technically correct.
