NOW it works! :)

I was :worried: about their speed. Wondered how they'd slow down.

Stunning how they pulled up at the end before deploying the 'chute. A huge dose of confidence as he hung in the air. Whew!

I think it has to be the most dangerous sport in the World! But really thrilling to watch and imagine how it feels :agree:

wow. I watched this with a mixture of fascination and disapproval. If it catches on it is only a matter of time until..... I have this image of flies on a car windshield. 8)

Aye, and the passenger saying, "look at the b***s on that fly."

Hiya Peter.

A thrilling ride indeed. I can barely imagine the sensation having done a little flying , wwithout a suit, when at the age of about 7
I fell from a tree ... ah yes.... those branches whizzing by as the grass blades became more defined.

Suffered a broken arm ... ending any chance of my pro pitching in the major leagues

Ahh well 8)
;)

Yes it's true ... That did happen... although iI have to be honest and say I don't remember the branches whizzing by.. :wasntme:
