D'oh. He had a net.

 

[nauseous]

D'oh. He had a net.

And a cushion under his coat just in case.

 

[honda]

Seriously that's one brave fella.

 

[EFLImpudence]

Is that 'bravery'?

 

[honda]

Yes in my opinion. Would you do it and if not why not ?

 

[EFLImpudence]

No. I'm not stupid.

 

[handyjack]

Needs a special kind of stupid to do that.

 

[honda]

No. I'm not stupid.

Or brave enough ?

 

[EFLImpudence]

Even if it is brave, it is no more brave than other people's jobs which entail danger.

It's just that his job is totally unnecessary and no one would have noticed had it not happened.

job?

 

[EFLImpudence]

I have not looked into the man (not interested) but I presume he will make a profit from it.

He had the "backup" of the other three till 3500ft to make sure he was on target to the net so not really that big a risk for an experienced skydiver.
