[VenusRising]

3. Not just no, but HELL NO!!

I watched cartoons as a kid. I know what happens.

[SallyMander]

6. It always ends in a small puff of dust

at the bottom of the cliff

:rofl:

[VenusRising]

7. Yes. Yes, it does.

And I don't want to be a small puff of dust at the bottom of a cliff.

Or anywhere else for that matter.

:rofl:

[SallyMander]

9. You will be hard-pressed to find a cliff like that

here in Ohio. So sleep easy, sweets. :D

[VenusRising]

10. You mean we aren't a mountainous state?

I should have checked the map. :P

Seriously, if I would have seen the guy buzzing the road, I would have died on the spot.

[SallyMander]

11. No kidding!!

I can't imagine what the drivers of those cars were thinking...

Probably something along the lines of "oh, great, now i need to change my pants." :rofl:

[DarkTirade]

:wow:

[XemaSab]

15. That looks *way* too fun

I wouldn't even care about landing the thing, ya know? After that, what's left to live for? :D

[SallyMander]

19. LOL - my friend who sent it to me prefaced it with

"I want to be a flying squirrel when i grow up!"

:rofl:

[XemaSab]

22. I'm just waiting for the first casualty

due to getting too close to an eagle nest or something. :P

[FloridaJudy]

[SallyMander]

[applegrove]

17. Crazy Nuts !!!

[BarenakedLady]

18. Wild!

:wow:

[Kutjara]

20. I always have two questions when I see stuff like that:

Who was the first person to do it?

and

What happened to them?

[idgiehkt]

25. if you really wanna know...

the guy talking lived, his partner who I think was named Dwayne Johnson, died...I think they were some of the first guys to mess with these flying suits.

edit: it's Jeb Corliss, this is another video of his jumps
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GC-hBElsiqE

there is some amazing footage of Dwayne's fatal jump in here with them flying next to the plane.

[Suich]

23. It looked like he had a parachute

when he was landing at the very end...last 3 or 4 seconds.

[Kutjara]

26. They do.

The suits enable the users to glide and maneuver, but they don't provide enough drag to permit a safe landing. A parachute is necessary for that. Without one, every flight would be a fatality.

[texas1928]

27. If I was in the car that one guy flys by...

I would have wrecked it.

[SKKY]

28. That is sick! I would Love, Love, Love to do something like that!
