Parachutes should probably be included here. They don't completely separate you from the ground, but definitely slow how quickly you become reaquainted. Never cheap out on parachutes.
On the flip side, not jumping out of planes is probably the more frugal option
I don't know about that, surely cutting out skydiving is moving into cheap territory, not frugal. I mean, cutting your kitchen sponge in half, saving up soap slivers and sewing clothes for your children from discarded chip packets are the sort of things worth doing, but you can't destroy everything that makes life worth living. It's really important to me for my mental health that I can jump out of planes whenever I feel the need, and when I do I want the best parachute money can buy.
