    Edit::::

    Yes, I feel the same way as others. It would scare the crap out of me too. I think It is better to do in my sleep in my dreams. Safer. Lol

    WOW! I think I'm going to have dreams about this! I used to dream that I did stuff like this, but had no idea that it could actually be done. I thought it was fake at first.

    As far as acutually doing it... CRAP... It would scare me to death!

    YES........That is what I was thinking... landing? How do they keep from becoming a "splat" when they land... hit the ground?

    Oh my goodness, Rick. If you get to do this, you have to have someone take a video of you. This is amazing! Really hope you get to do this - 100 mph! Go for it!

    I've seen it before with skydivers, but I can imagine that doing it next to something like that cliff would really intensify the feeling of speed.

    Oh man.When you leave an aircraft, you are moving horizontally at the same
    Speed as the aircraft, typically 90-110MPH. During the first 10
    Seconds, a skydiver accelerates up to about 115-130MPH straight
    Down.

    What these guys are doing would make me change my pants,before landing. :D

    Would I do it? No way dude.

    Rick.You have to be kidding me!!

    That would be so exciting to try. Not for this girl though, I am happy right here in my chair watching others!
