This is a normal post has to be fake
because the G's you would pull from that would make you pass out.

This is a normal post Yeah,
Because the parachute could never be automatically deployed, as it's just not possible. So the movie has to be fake, it MUST be.

This is a normal post I suppose you have a point
but the height he/she reaches... seems a bit high.

This is a normal post I seem to remember someone from Oxford University dying riding THIS a few years back
asylum.apocalypse.org/pub/u/zonker/fpp/html/trebuchet.html

There are pictures on the Oxford University dangerous sports club page.

Edit: quote, `It would be splendid to throw a bloke, really splendid,'' he says wistfully. ``He'd float down fine. But he'd float down dead.''
