This one is for all the children that believed...The ones that tied the cape around their neck or tied the wings onto their arms and climbed to the top of the garage b/c they wanted to fly......

Gee, why should anyone fly in a plain old airplane when they could do this?????

Here's more information - I looked it up because one of my friends has had the email name "birdman" for years. Seems like he'd be a natural.

Reminds me of flying squirrels

I'd be afraid I'd sneeze and slam into the rocks

Def. cool though.

I saw that on tv last weekend, one of those extreme sports shows. It was
pretty interesting, but not something I would do, but then I wouldn't be
doing any parachute jumping or bungee jumping either, I'm just a big woos.

now that's a death wish. a tragedy waiting to happen. these young people think they are invincible,... just call me a chicken, I don't care.

If I were 20, maybe. I can just imagine the rush you would get doing that!
