The challenge in The Gypsy Moths is to imply (without ever being so crass as to say aloud) what a skydiver's reasons might be for jumping out of an airplane and letting himself fall right into the ground. He isn't necessarily committing suicide; he may be in the grip of some kind of self-hypnosis, a fascination with the ground rushing up toward him.

The book was made into a movie (of the same name) in 1969 starring Burt Lancaster and Gene Hackman. It was directed by John Frankenheimer.
