I like it ! On a related note,if you are ever really hungry and are near a pond ,lake,slough,or whatever that has a lot of ducks,this may help you. Throw a bunch of boxes in the water. Then slip into the water with a box on your head,remember to cut eyeholes,that is essential. You should be able to sneak up on the ducks(be weally weally quiet) and pull them down and snap their necks. Dinner,yahoo.
Hopefully a smaller one than the one if you jumped without it. I wear a flotation device at sea and I sure as heck do not want to go in the water, but if I do, I want every chance there is.
If I worked that high up I'd have a chute, a steerable one and I'd learn how to use it. And I can imagine the chiding I'd take.."Whats the matter, afraid of dying?" and other silly comments.
I don't know there are various ways to look at the parachute thingie. It is cheap, maybe not to the clerical but I would assume there were some fairly hefty company policies. On the down side if you were above the flames it would be a more painful death. I'd take the option of jumping with one over jumping without if the company provided them and the training.

Why this blog? Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice
of an ordinary Canadian
yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

mailserver in Europe)
I can't answer or use every
tip, but all are
appreciated!

send someone traffic,

Those were the days...when people put ridiculous survival suits (and then themselves) into their baggage rather than explosives.

Better to not panic and do stupid sh!t like buying an executive parachute or don't work in tall buildings if you think it's that great of a threat.
No?

Nothing like suffocating in your own luggage.

I wonder whether it's possible to listen to the guy laughing in the background and not either crack up or at least start chuckling.
