NO dadgum, FREAKING way. :evil:

No, sir. Fergiddit.

I have 1st hand experience with what happens when one 'crash lands' on concrete from only 2 stories up.

I wouldn't get within 300 miles of that thing. :eek:
 
Awwwww. Larry spoil sport.
Used to bungie jump, helped my back. Until the State decided one must use a full
harness. No more ankles only. Bummer!

There are a number of medical equipment(?) devices used to relieve back issues (by allowing one to SAFELY hang upside-down) which ought to do the same thing...such as:

'Makes a heck of a lot more sense to ME...
 
Larry, I do use an inversion table but bungee jumping was more fun. Oh, well.
I use it everyday and workout with kettle-bells as well. That's why I'm not tethered to a walker.

Yeeehaaaaa! Come visit guys - that is just a three hour drive away (even less from Jac Mac's place). Done a few jumps in years gone by. Real adrenaline rush. Sister-in-law used to work for A J Hackett Bungy in Queenstown. Must admit however, when watching some people jump there are lots of screams and occasionally you recognise that some of them are sheer terror.

Me, too...well, from 3 stories up onto hard packed clay. 9 weeks in the hospital and 9 months in a cast with a grafted navicular.

...but after all that I'm still too stupid to be afraid of heights, would do that bungee swing in a heartbeat.

Cheers!

Oh come on now Larry. If you don't like that how about me putting you out of an airplane at 4000 feet? bit of fun there.

Are you kiddin' me? If we were aboard a plane going down in flames, you'd hafta drag me to the door/exit and throw me out of it...and I'd be kicking and screaming the whole time. I don't do any version of the 'falling thing' very well at all anymore...:(

All that said, there's not a true roller coaster on the planet I wouldn't ride. (E.g.: 'Been on every 'coaster Six Flags, Knott's Berry Farm and Disneyland have to offer...multipe times.)

Go 'figger'. :shrug:
 
Wait until you are a bit older and the "falling thing" gets a whole new meaning. Broken hips are a huge problem for the "seniors".

Guess we wont be seeing Larry out here in NZ anytime soon then, Don't think there is anywhere in NZ that is more than 300 miles from the ocean so Larry would be freaking out at the thought of falling in an ocean and having to swim home!!

There is nowhere in the United Kingdom that is more than 70 miles from the sea...

Larry, I've heard the best way to get into Australia is to wear a tea towel around your head (dish towel in Merican, preferably red & white), and hitch a ride in a leaky boat somewhere in the Arafura Sea, and wait to be rescued..... :)

(Now waiting for vicious backlash from Pete :poke:)

By the way, I would like to extend a personal thank you to Jac. I was having trouble with my glasses and couldn't read the screen so well. Jac fixed that..

No backlash from me Keith, the leaky boat and tea towel on the head USED to be the way to get to Oz.
But thanks to a change of Government and a Prime Minister with Balls not one boat has landed or breached our borders for nearly a year.
