Oh no, you just fell out of an airplane without a parachute! This is bad. In Without a Parachute, you must flap your "wings" (arms) as fast as you can to try to delay the inevitable. Along the way you can collect coins that will help you buy amazing powerups that will further increase your chances for fame and glory in the skies. Oddly, the item shop does not sell an actual parachute...
