brianfry713 0 #28 October 23, 2007 I like to combine as many dangerous things into one fun outing. So pulling from this list a night could include such dangers as climbing a 1700 foot ladder with some stairs and steps at the bottom to B.A.S.E. jump and parachute from near the top. Also throw in a chance of getting shot or arrested, a few beers before the 2 hour drive home, a chance of landing in water, a slim chance of getting struck by an aircraft, winds, bad weather, lightning, animals, earthquakes, struck by or against another person, accidental injury, falling down, electrocution, exposure to dangerous TV or radio waves, venomous stings, slipping/stumbling, or the goal of falling from the structure. Sounds like a good time.BASE 1224, Senior Parachute Rigger, CPL ASEL IA, AGI, IGI USPA Coach & UPT Tandem Instructor, PRO, Altimaster Field Support Representative Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skootz 0 #29 October 23, 2007 On my tandem video my answer to the are you afraid of heights question was...just ladders, scared to death of ladders. My whole family made fun of me for months about that one. Glad to hear that I am not the only one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
