Interesting. As you know, I also have my moments, but for me it's the possibility of slipping and falling, not the thought of the drop, that does it. So although I've never done a bungie jump, and probably never will, it doesn't seem frightening to me, as long as you get tied on _before_ going out onto the jump platform, as seems to be the case. I was never bothered by climbing ships' masts when I was a kid, nor does roping down rocks and glaciers, as long as I have control, either by being harnessed up, or just by being on skis if there's enough snow to hold an edge. -- _______ ..'_/_|_\_'.

You're mad. You wouldn't get me on the bloody rig never mind with a piece of elastic round my ankles and jumping off it.
Fair play sir, and you've lost weight as well right? -- Dnc B1200 - +30bhp ~|~ ZZR1100 - faster when upright V2300 - flat cap and rug ~|~ A6 2.5TDi V6 Quattro Sport MIB#26 two#54(soiled) UKRMMA#26 BOTAFOT#153 X-FOT#003
In uk.rec.motorcycles, Whinging Courier belched forth and ejected the following: Seen it now. Very well done indeed. I thought you might've screamed more.
Would have if he'd been attached to the Wing Respect to SD, it looked bloody fantastic, don't know if I'd have the nerve to attempt it though.
I did ask to, but it was the first use of the "big" rope, and they don't stretch as much when they're cold, apparently. -- | ___ Salad Dodger |/ \ _/_____\_ GL1500SEV/CBR1100XXX/CBX1000Z |_\_____/_| ..79553../..21469.../..31308.

I have. I'm still the same weight now, as then, a sprightly 20 stones 1 pound. -- | ___ Salad Dodger |/ \ _/_____\_ GL1500SEV/CBR1100XXX/CBX1000Z |_\_____/_| ..79553../..21469.../..31308.
