RE: Weekend-engagement topic week 38: Inventions

Flight is amazing...Thanks to the Wright brothers who became the first humans to fly (hot air balloons aside) we can all experience it. Of course human flight has come a long way since then. I like to fly in planes and helicopters and have done it a lot...Small planes too. But I think something I'd like to do is this below. I mean WTF! I can see me doing this, although I'll probably die doing it! I don't know, if one is at peace with oneself I think what better way to go?

Go to 6:25 and enjoy.

Damn I've always loved watching these people do this! I don't know if I have the balls to do it myself but holy shit does it look incredible. Some of the coolest ones I've seen are the people who do it in New Zealand I think, off giant cliffs and stuff. Some of them fly so close to the rock face, it's insane! lol

Edit - it's probably Switzerland that I see often, the Alps are probably the best place to ever do it! I would be more apt to jump out of a helicopter to do it than jumping off a cliff face lol

I don't know man, I've done some fucked up things and this is fucked up but I reckon I'd do it. If I crashed and burned...What a way to go! My only stipulation would by that some mother fucker takes my demise-video and makes a shit-ton on a hive post on my behalf! 🤪

Maybe when it's my time I'll do this a and hit the ground at terminal velocity...Beats a nursing home.

I second this motion, so many times I've been tempted to start this hobby but my concious (wife) keeps screaming no and says if you want to die I can do it for you faster and probably cleaner.

I'd say hitting the ground at terminal velocity is pretty fast.

I'd rather do that than sit in a nursing home as an old man.

Knowing my luck I'd only break my legs and back confining me to a wheel chair :(

It would be a fun death i must say.
