Vancouver Island, B.C., there is no charge for those who jump in the buff--which is much
better for those with flu-like symptoms They also do it in connection with a more formal
fundraising event to benefit the BC Schizophrenia Society--in case you become interested.
"Take nothing but risks.
Leave nothing but shrieks.
Kill nothing but time."
My only problem with them is they told me to keep my shoes on until I jumped:
"Sir, it gets pretty raunchy up here in the middle of July." Also they wouldn't accept
anything other than a swan dive (and my VISA card) since they had a reputation
to protect. When I jumped I forgot to yell "Geronimo" as I was surprised at how fast
I accelerated to zero velocity (i.e., zero acceleration--prior to negative acceleration).
There was no discomfort. When they saw I had contacts, they cranked off a couple
of inches so I wouldn't touch the water since people reflexibly lose their lenses other-
wise. When we were there, very professional and experienced Kiwis ran the place.
