The first parachute was invented when Jack, tumbling haplessly from his titanium beanstalk, used a purloined pair of giant underpants to steady his fall. Glide to earth safely with today's deal: for $129, you get a tandem jump at Skydive Greensburg (a $269 value).
On a tandem jump, you'll leap into the void from a plane 13,500 feet in the air strapped to one of Skydive Greensburg's experienced, USPA-rated instructors, who can whisper reassuring nothings in your ear as the pair of you hurtle toward the ground at up to 120 mph during a 60-second free fall. When the instructor deploys your shared parachute at around 5,000 feet, the two of you will have a 5-minute relaxing glide to admire the view and make small talk before gently landing back on solid ground. Stick around to pick up a professionally edited DVD of your jump (an additional $89) or to hook up your RV ($10 a day, also not included) at Skydive Greensburg's nearby campsite.

Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Presentations
In today's lecture-driven workplace, there are no jobs that don't require employees to give at least 15 presentations per day. Here are some tips on giving a successful presentation:
- Start with a joke, then close with the same joke to indicate that the presentation is finished.
- Shouting makes everything more memorable.
- Make eye contact with your audience. This is especially effective if you are crying.
- Imagine that the audience is naked—they're doing the same to you.
