The Fulton recovery system. I learned about it on DZ.com. A facinating story http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulton_surface-to-air_recovery_system

In Canada it is illegal if none of the parties know about it. It would be OK if you video yourself and the others. Laws vary from place to place, check with a lawyer.

Just to clarify, there were dozens of arrests that night. There was only one woman that night with a humorous t-shirt that read "the only way to behave is NOT to". She had her face slammed into the pavement by the police. Note they did not use excessive force (155 lb man vs. handcuffed 135 lb female).

"Now as for help - if the problem for the guy was the oxygen system, someone going up certainly could help him out, with a likely cost of having to turn back. " http://ca.news.yahoo.com/cbc/s/27052006/3/canada-200-metres-everest-summit-canadian-halts-climb-rescue-man.html Looks like you're right.

Everybodies got to be something.

It is interesting that you would advocate a base 16 system ' when humans clearly prefer a base 10 system. Also Kallend, it is interesting that you seem to indicate that high functioning individuals in the modern era are inadequate to function using the Imperial system; even though it has been established for centuries and used to describe some of the most important discoveries of the scientific world.

Jump stunt lands Calgary man in hospital Last Updated Fri, 01 Apr 2005 15:45:34 EST CBC News CALGARY - A man who tried to parachute off a Calgary office building is in hospital after smashing through a window on the 24th floor, sending broken glass flying through seven windows in the atrium below. Police say they were called to the Canada Trust building in downtown Calgary about 11:10 p.m. Thursday night. They found the 41-year-old parachutist on top of a pedestrian walkway. He was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening pelvic, abdominal and back injuries. Charges are pending, according to police. Emergency officials say it appears the man got caught in a wind current, carrying him into the building instead of away from it as he tried to parachute off in what is known as a BASE jumping stunt. BASE stands for buildings, antennae, spans and earth. This type of jumping is an extreme sport that involves leaping from a fixed object such as a building, bridge or cliff with a parachute. Police say the Calgary stunt caused about $5,000 damage to the building. Copyright ©2005 Canadian Broadcasting Corporation - All Rights ReservedQuote
