The danger with BASE jumping off of skyscrapers is not getting enough air to fill your chute. I jumped years ago and regular parachutists would talk about the danger of jumping into downtown areas out of fear of losing their air near a building & having their chutes collapse.

To: Mean Daddy

Thank you!

It makes sense that basically an umbrella can’t open all the way if you try to open it right next to a building.

Skydiving must be exhilarating. My daughter always wanted to do it but she has severe scoliosis...did not realize it until it was too late...so she now has a metal rod up her spine. And her back always hurts.

Two doctors; two different ideas about whether or not she should skydive.

Thank God that she doesn’t like drugs...otherwise she could get addicted to something.

I was thinking bungee jumping.
