The Bloom Is Off the Rose

Miles (Harold Gould) comments that he makes a better salad dressing than Paul Newman. Harold Gould actually starred in two films with Paul Newman; Harper (1966) and The Sting (1973).

In Rose and Miles's skydiving class, there are at least 9 first time skydivers equipped with solo parachute rigs and only 2 jumpmasters to accompany them. The main skydiving instructor informs the students that their parachutes will open automatically upon exiting the airplane. This form of skydiving is known as static line parachuting. But in actuality, the vast majority of first time skydivers jump tandem, a type of skydiving where a student skydiver is connected to a harness attached to a tandem instructor. Tandem skydiving relieves the student of the pressure of having to deploy their own parachute and the pressure of having to guide themselves safely to the ground, which is why it's the most common method for first time jumpers.
