And then they want emergency services to come rescue them when it goes wrong?

I'm guessing that probably don't have time to say much more than "Chit" when things go bad.
Looks like a rush though closest thing to actually flying without flapping like a bird.

That would give new meaning to "dead end" if you took the wrong turn

That is pretty cool. I wish I wasn't too scared to do it, however, doing crazy stuff like that really makes you feel alive.

It's called being numb when you have to get very close to death to feel alive!!!Lol when I was younger a good honest fight or getting a bronc covered was enough thrill for me but with a little age I'm leaning more to the pleasures of life than the thrills of life.

Can always count on you Twerker. smirk It will (hopefully) be a few decades before I'm ready to try it. I'm not planning on kicking off yet.

That would be the closest thing to being able to fly, like in your dreams. At least I have dreamed I could fly. I got a pilots license to fly around but not quite the same. That would make you pucker stepping off a cliff thousands of feet high with hopes falling straight down you got enough airspeed to fly. I love the sound when they pass someone on the ground videoing, they sound like jets. Shows how fast they have to go to fly. Good thing we don't have mountains in Indiana or I probably would have been stepping off of them in my younger days.

Fredonia Pa? I'm in Shaprsville Pa and getting ready for some mink and rat trapping.

I'll leave this stunt to the flying squirrels and just keep my boots on the ground.

I've jumped with a canopy but this is bit beyond pushing your luck.

To each his/her own though.


Keep your boots dry and your powder too.

I remember when a fur check was reality.....now I'm just trapping for the love of it.

Best Regards,

JT

Yup, we are close. My wife works in Sharon. There are a few others on here that live close by also.

Well, believe it or not old Moosetrot used to hang glide in his younger days. In 1977 I bought a UP Dragonfly hang glider. Back then there was a lot of folks going off the bluffs around La Crosse. One time I got hit by a serious downdraft that put me on the ground with grass stains covering the entire front of my harness and bending my control bar. No injuries but it was time to say enough. Sold it to a guy who tried flying it by towing it behind a truck. I think he wound up selling it pretty quick.

As a matter of fact, yes. Everything else on me was green and I figured a green and gold thong would be a good match. Haven't taken it off since.

On the upside, they are already in a body bag on take off. Makes things pretty easy for the pick up crew
