Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Fired up with false bravado, Cliff (John Ratzenberger), Norm (George Wendt), and Woody (Woody Harrelson) sign up for skydiving lessons. Once they're in the air, however, the intrepid duo decides that jumping from a plane in flight is not a particularly good idea. Even so, they return to terra firma claiming that they did, indeed, bail out -- and then are forced to prove their courage when Sam (Ted Danson) accompanies them on their next excursion into the clouds. Note how the canny sky-diving instructor uses reverse psychology to turn mice into men (or is it the other way around?).
