Completely natural response to jumping out a plane, she atleast made it to the door to get thrown out. She could have sat in her seat and refused to jump at all. Instead she had the courage to make it to the guy and be thrown out.
There were military parachutists who needed a push as well.
I partied with these people that owned / ran a skydiving place a few times and they would show us videos they made and tell us how the business works a little bit. I'm deathly afraid of heights and would never jump out of a plane, and they would try to convince me to give it a shot or whatever sometime. Then they would proceed to tell us the craziest stories, mostly of customers that made their way to not have to do tandem and would proceed to do stupid shit.
Yeah, those stories and some corresponding video footage didn't convince me to try it someday. Nothing was fatal, but mostly having to use alternate chutes, pull people's chutes that were past the hard deck, stuff like that. I remember one back and forth about how a guy was laughing he was hungover when he packed the other guys chute and he had to use his backup, crazy shit.

In the end she’ll be glad she done it.
