    Default Not enough money in the world

    There is not enough money in the world that would tempt me to do this

    The difference between light and hard is that you can sleep with the light on.

    I can't believe they are allowed to free climb that tower. That is just nuts. It's just a job. Not worth dying for. I've climbed stacks (chimneys) over 100m and it is hard work.

    Wheelin, those wing suits are Awesome. Might be a bit hard to climb in though.
    Those were the droids I was looking for.

    Hmmmmmmmm

    Fascinating - unfortunately what comes to mind is

    that it aint the fall that kills you , just the sudden stop at the other end

    the words terminal velocity

    what happens if you need to make a pit stop?

    A pit stop?? In skydiving circles, that's termed "crop spraying"........
