NIrishGuy Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 ha brilliant. looks like a fun day out - I was going to say I hope they remembered the whole "what goes up must come down thing" as that hitting you on the head I think you'd know about - until I saw the parachute that is. Quote
steveboy Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 I also admired the courage of the bystanders being so close to this contraption. The parachute opening helped a little, but one knows of parachutes that fail. Quote
