Or, speaking of skydiving, how about this guy - how cool with that be to create your own sonic boom.

CoasterMatt · 08-13-2007, 09:25 PM

That is SO cool!

I can create my own sonic boom - Rancho Zocalo, style.

This is such an awful, awful story. The ones that survived are forever marked by this carnival ride. Terrible.

ETA: Gads, the OP is...unsettling.

"Ensure his bodily fluids don't boil"? Hooey.

This sounds like a job for....NASA

And right now, the image of a very disgruntled Alex falling from an airplane with some dude strapped to his back is making my evening.

Why is he discruntled? Because Lani won't go? I'd go with you Alex, if it weren't for my operation, which may prevent me from even going on ToT for ever

. I've always wanted to skydive. I may have to settle for the hot air ballon ride in Irvine.....

Because he doesn't want to have to do a tandem jump.

He doesn't HAVE to do a tandem jump, he could always go base jump...

Or take a skydiving lesson. That is what I did and never did a tandem. My first jump was on my first day.

Unless they have changed the rules, tandem is just for those who don't want to take the full lesson.

I see no valid reason for leaving a perfectly good airplane in mid flight, tandem or otherwise.

After watching the plane that we would be jumping out of land a couple of times, I decided I would rather jump out of it than land in it.

Also, it gave Susan and I the opportunity to be able to say that we have landing together in more planes than we have taken off in together. That never fails to illicit some odd looks.
