NOW it works!
I was

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

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.

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