I'm 5 ft 6 in. Wife is ~ 5 ft. I'm sure we'll have hats/toques. Still near freezing in the mornings here.

Misleading thread title.

OP, don't listen to these chuckleheads.

When you die your blood will be so flush with endorphins and adrenaline that you won't really feel a thing.

Sunday July 3rd.

 

[zinfamous]

Sweet! I'm here for the horrifying tragedy.

This is the third or fourth reschedule. I'm still terrified.

Rock climbing, no rope, no problem. Skydiving, no problem.

Hot air ballooning? F that. I want to be in control, not blown wherever the wind takes the box I'm standing in. Zero desire to ever go up in a balloon. Ever.

TV has you scared. Studies show that over 3 times as many people are killed on the way to the vasectomy than in the actual balloon.

Wait. He's getting a vasectomy in a hot air balloon?

Freaky.

Are you just trying to scare yourself to death with the constant reschedule?

 

[NAC4EV]

Every landing is a crash landing!!!

Not exactly. He is going to bungee jump off the ballon but tie the bungee to his nutsack D:

My recommendation: You gotta know when to bail.

hahahahah! I am just now seeing this reply since the thread was necro'd today.

Electrifying!

 

[Red Squirrel]

I'd love to try hot air ballooning. Would be so awesome. Sky diving would be fun too.

no. the weather has always just not worked out for us. if its too windy they cancel, and their threshold for too windy is pretty strict. Probably a good thing.

I happened across a hot air balloon 'crash-landing' back in my LEO days. I was like wtf he looks awfully low...sure enough, I found it in a driveway (conveniently they missed the surrounding trees).

Nobody died though, so you might be ok!

 

[Cyco]

I bungee jumped off a hot air balloon once. Was fun, would recommend.

That sounds awesome. I would go Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee all the way down. Then realize I grabbed someone's backpack instead of my parachute. Then it's Ohhhhhhhhhhh nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo *splat*

Yeah, you'd be the guy who goes bungee jumping without a parachute. That would be like going swimming without a rope, or skydiving without a snorkel.

Silly Squirrel

Every landing is a crash landing!!!

Every landing is a controlled crash, at least get something right someday.

I'm just trying to explain to you why you are wrong, as per your signature...

And once you reach the end of the line when you're still thousands of feet in the air what do you do just hang there? Chances are you'd just unhook and sky dive the rest of the way.

This would be fun too.

Or they could just winch you back in. That seems like a simpler plan.

Controlled crash landing = crash = wrong
