Parachutists on independence day.

It does not matter where this happened, it is still amazing. I hope nobody was seriously hurt.

As far as the one crashing into the port-o-let, when you gotta go you gotta go. Still better than the parachute scene from "Top Secret" (the movie).

Anything that can happen will happen. There's loads of vids of people doing stupid things on the net. I don't watch them because it gives me bad dreams. When I was twelve we jumped off the roof of the garage, parachutist style. I've taken some falls, but so far not too much damage. I can say that but can I prove that? I have some spinal weirdness going on, but hey, I'm up in years anyway.
You don't want to go splat in front of people. If you can pull off a good save, well then you want to do that in front of people. Do you make any money at this kind of thing? Not much and I don't think you want to make a career of it. Musicians and BMX riders(which is riding a twelve year old's bike) commit suicide occasionally. They realize they have nothing else. Well, that's depressing. Real pros show off, get laid and move on.
