Man that is too crazy - hey maybe someone could base a Dream on it. Helmet camera - a little jumping - some editing - and you would be a star!

You guys all know by now that I skydive for fun!

That's what we call a "Flying-Squirrel" suit and it's built for distance flight!

One guy in England set the record for distance when he flew across the English Channel in one of those suits!

Just a personal note, I kinda like having the target underneath me! But then, that's just how I fly!

He he, a few jalapenos surely would give one that propelled sensation....but a bowl of curried cabbage would see all non-mechanical flight records broken with consumate ease...

...tho I'd hazard a guess the 'squirrel suit' would instantly become a hot air balloon and probably be in contention for a mention in the Guinness Book of World Records for doing 'around the world in considerably less than eighty days'.

Ooops...almost forgot this one!! Now c'mon Cp, why on earth would anyone in their right mind jump out of a perfectly good aircraft??

I can see it now.....

Flight attendant: "What are you doing sir?"

Cp: "Oh, it's alright, miss, I only paid to here and now I have to get off."

Flight attendant: "But sir, it's dangerous to exit a moving aircraft."

Cp: "Not to worry, miss, I brought along my trusty 'squirrel suit'."

Flight attendant: "But sir......

Cp: "I'd love to stop and chat some more, but I don't wanna miss my stop."

As we used to say, you find a perfectly good aircraft and then I'll stay on it.

I have a theory for this question, care to hear the answer?

Why would anyone jump from a perfectly good airplane?

Because now you have Advanced Training in case it isn't!

See, there's something in it for everybody!

That's not risk..... that's enjoyment!

I agree.
They say it's not the fall that kills ya...... it's the sudden stop!

Makes sense, I guess....providing the shute opens.

Still, it's not something I'd be doing for fun....my bones wouldn't cope and one 'half' bad landing could see me broken all over, possibly wheelchair bound.

Uummm! I think I'll have that at the end of my next virtual base jump


Won't help....curried cabbage is the mother of all perpetual trouser coughs and should be avoided at all costs if you have any qualms about gas propulsion.

I'm crackin' up 'cause it's not far from the truth MrStarkers!

Damn Airlines and their silly rules about cabin depressurization! What's up with that anyway?  

I mean come on, drop those dumb little oxygen masks for the rest of your passangers and let me get on my way!!

See what you did! I'm wasting my time talking to a Stewardess and missed my target! Miss, please move away from the door, oh and by the way, your dress is on fire!

Whoop! Made you look, I'm gooooooooooooooone!

Back around 1960 my father [who ran the Mildura airport] declined an invite to passenger in a two seat glider...he was tired after a 'doggo'...and went home.  A few hours later he was called back to the 'drome.  That same glider had death-spun into the ground, pulverising the earth runway to a depth of 2 feet....and someone had to help retrieve the pilot.  2 buckets did the job.  [control cable slackness and subsequent exceeded airframe loading].

They say motorbike riders are 'temporary citizens'...but they have nothing on base-jumpers, hang gliders and ultralights.

"Live hard, die young and leave a beautiful corpse". <-- that should be their motto.

At least with bikers it's just "Live to ride"....
