What is Meat Bomb?
1.
Slang term for skydiver. Often used among pilots, jumpers and others associated in some way with aviation. It has a somewhat morbid connotation to it, hinting that if the parachutist's equipment should fail, or (more common) the parachutist should make a gross mistake, that he will explode upon impact much like a bomb made out of meat.
Pilot 1: Heading of 0232, skydiving commencing at an altitude of 11,000 feet--2 minutes. Please clear airspace.
Pilot 2: Copy that.
Pilot 1: Meat bombs out the door, remain clear.
