OK, since you shared your perverted sense of humor, here is mine:

Find a DZ located adjacent to a cornfield with corn at least seven
feet tall.  Get the cooperation of a first jump static-line student.
Make sure no one in his family who will be watching, has a heart
condition, (or a gun).

Load up the student and taxi to the far end of the runway where you
can unload the student out of sight, and replace him with a dummy,
(probably just a jumpsuit stuffed full of rags).

As the jump-plane climbs to altitude, the student hides in the cornfield.

On jump-run, the jumpmaster spots the dummy for the cornfield, and
the dummy has a total and bounces in the field close to the DZ, but
not so close that anyone can see the impact.  Immediately after impact,
the student comes out of the cornfield, brushing himself off and
remarking, "Damn!  That was a hard landing!"
