Hats off to you if you have.  I am told 1 in 8 die.

But thats OK, its not 1 in 8 attempts, that's every year or something.
... Make sure you live before you die.

Gourd almighty, he must have nerves of steel.

Now, if you will excuse me, I must clean my chair.  ;D
Courage, Courtesy and Service.
Constant and True.

I can totally see why people do it, even though I'd never be able to myself.  One of the best things I ever did was a parachute jump, and this must top that by absolute miles....

Did a freefall once...  but squirrel jumping....  he gets that close to the ground.  How much control can he have on his descent? 

i get the feeling that he was putting everything into getting over that knoll where the photographer was. 
... Make sure you live before you die.

One of these guys, I think its Jeb, is actually looking for a place where the slope of the ground will allow him to jump and land without a parachute.
