>Rev Jim to the rescue! This will help you regain your sight! Ahh... Much better. Here puppy..... com'ere puppy...

Hey! I've thought about that too! You could try it on a freeway for example, but you'd have to make sure the length of road you plan to use has no overpasses over it...

What? You here again? Get back to the talkback forum where you belong, to post useless nonsense posts!

>What is terminal and sub-terminal, I take it to mean terminal velocity. That's right. 'Terminal' refers to terminal velocity, 'sub-terminal' refers to speeds less than terminal velocity(which means that you keep accelerating) >If this the case, I am suposed to do a sub-terminal opening on a >forthcoming jump. Why? Is this a part of some training progression? >How do you know when you reach terminal velocity? Well, when you don't accelerate anymore... On belly-to-earth jumps, one usually reaches terminal velocity at about 12 seconds. >Will it be the same for all falling bodies, regardless of size >shape andor weight?? Of course not. When you're freeflying, your TV is higher than when you're flying belly-to-earth, since you're weight is the same(the gravity pulls you towards the earth at the same rate), but your surface-area presented to the relative wind is smaller(so there's less drag to fight the gravity).

>What is next chairs that stand you up... oh wait it has already happenend Huh? You serious?

Done it once. It was pretty chilly. It'll have to be a really warm day before I do it again...

"Back in the old days we didn't have any of this sissy 'windows' or 'icons'. We had to do everything with just 1's and 0's. And sometimes we didn't even have the 1's."

>I guess I'm one of the Internet dumb dumbs I can not believe >it's a real site an the guy is selling them!! The most scary part is that I'm sure his making money doing that. Not much, but I believe he is. This bit from Douglas Adams' "Mostly Harmless" Erno

>Could this be attempted with a long 'line up' of open tunnels and a wingsuit? Why yes, yes it could!

He must be doing a great job to get that kind of support! What are you americans thinking, you just can't go against a man that popular!

I would have never noticed.. I always go directly to the forums.

There is one way of stopping this speculation...

She said the W-word!

>Hell I've even been browsing and posting on the ah-dubya >forum...things are serious..... Yeah I noticed. Quite a shock that was. I haven't been desperate enough to stick my head in the freeflailing forum yet...

>Why is it so darn quiet here today? Everyone's dazzled by our cunning wit and smart responses, and are afraid to post?

About 4/5ths down the doc, in the 'non-base deaths' section.

>I am sure this is an old idea but.. You are? Then why not do a search before you post?

Ahh. Yes of course. I guess old Leo didn't think it all through then: "If a man have a tent of closely woven linen without any apertures (openings) 12 braccia across and 12 in depth, he can throw himself down from any great height without injury." until the said 'tent' crashes on the man's head, that is.

>I've seen sketches similar to the thing you describe by a dude >called Leonard Da Quirm.... I don't know if he actually built it though. >I know my friend Adrian..self confessed 'eccentric aviator' built >and jumped a replica though...pics atached, Wasn't ballsy enough to land it though, I hear... >ok to open erno. No fat elvis here yet Bloody hell, now I have to keep watching over my shoulder and be paranoid about all your attachments... Might as well get it over with Whew! Well it was not pretty, but it was nowhere near the boobies/dentures-pic. Sorry to spoil your fun...

>it´s hard to work when i´ve started reading your dilouges... >I´m laughing so much it hurts We aim to please... Thank you, thank you! We'll be here every monday through friday approximately 7:00 to 15:00 GMT... Tip the waitress on your way out!

>A better suggestion would be to strap a wind tunnel prop and >turbine to your belly, and moments before impact, fire that >sucker up and levitate to safety.... Wait wait wait... Check this out: You could, like, take a really big piece of cloth, and strap that on to yourself somehow, and then before impact, spread that cloth so that it decelerates your velocity to a survivable rate. You think it might work?

>Could you spot your self onto an open wind tunnel and "be >caught" by the upward blowing air? No. Even if you hit the tunnel, you'll go screaming through the column of upward blowing air, and someone will be scraping you off the bottom of the tunnel. You see, the height of the column that actually is going 160 kph, is probably around 5 meters tall. You'd have to decelerate from terminal velocity to zero in 5 meters... That's not going to happen. And if it did, you'd still die from decelaration trauma. There'd be way too many G's.
