    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"........
