In order to simulate ejection from Swedish Air Force aircraft type 35 or 37, parachute descents were made from altitudes up to 7000 m with fall in a drag chute down to 3000 meters where the main parachute was manually deployed. Three parachutists used Air Force standard flying suits and equipment. The experiences from the descents are reported and proposals are made about high altitude clothing and equipment, e.g., oxygen masks.
