Let me know when someone has landed without the need for a net. That would be some achievement but jumping from a plane and landing in a net is almost impressive.

If that were football it would have been called the Wimbledon way.

I think the achievement was directing himself into the net from that height! I wonder how big the hole would have been if he had missed?

I think there was an urban legend about a woman who fell from the cabin of a depressurised aricraft and survived - from 30,000ft. All other passengers on board died in the crash.

NOT an urban legend then

 

[Miximate]

Wow! That took some balls

 

[Normal Rob]

I would land a bit nearer the centre off the net if I did that.

 

[Stat Brother]

There is just a puff of dust come up. Are you too young to remember the Coyote/roadrunner cartoons.
