    The climb would kill me.

    I used to work at heights and only ever had 1 incident that caused me to get rather drunk

    I climbed up a silo one time with a colleague who hailed from India. at about the half way mark, I swear he was white.

    It's not like I'm scared of heights or anything, but you couldn't make me do that.
    Who, me? I just wander from thread to thread.

    It's an old video, but I will never have enough balls to do this:

    The greatest pleasure of my recent life has been speed on the road. . . . I lose detail at even moderate speed but gain comprehension. . . . I could write for hours on the lustfulness of moving swiftly.

    No they don't.
    The pack is very secure between the legs so that it doesn't move about. It is released (on a line) only after the parachute has fully opened.

    wonder how long they expect to have the job for. I guess it saves having to fire someone for making a mistake.
