    Talking Going to Vegas? Let yourself fall...

    From the Stratosphere!

    The Law of Gravity is nonsense. No such law exists. If I think I float, and you think I float, then it happens.

    I think I'd feel better skydiving than to do that. And I ain't volunteering to jump out of any perfectly good planes....
    Ah, nothing relieves the discomfort of GAS pains like the sound of the UPS truck rumbling down your street. It's like the musician's Beano.

    Bungee, "fishing reel" (as in the video), and BASE jumping? Forget it!

    I skydived for a few years, which is muuuuch safer. It is a safe as you make it. I remember the outstanding statistic:
    You have a greater chance of dying while driving to and from the drop zone than when skydiving.

    I remember jumping with people (AKA: "skygodz") who were so experienced, they no longer cared about the number of jumps they made, but still enjoy getting their 24/36/48/72+ hours freefall badges. That's right, hours of freefall!
