A term used by sky divers and base jumpers alike to refer to wasted altitude that could have been used as free fall time but was negated due to a lack of testicular fortitude, resulting in an early parachute pull.
It was Derrick's first jump so he freaked and he threw his chute only 5 seconds in. Total altitude abuse.
