let me tell you, climbing harnesses hurt when you fall from a few storys and they catch you, let alone the jerk youd get when the chute opens! Parachuters use full body harnesses for a reason they like to be able to stand up and p**s the next day!

I bet he takes himself out of the gene pool sooner or later. I had an opportunity to go skydiving (friend was going to pay for my lessons and first jump), but my wife and my pastor, um, talked me out of it. At the time, I wouldn't think twice about taking my bike up to 150ish....

Now that I'm a little older, I subscribe more to the idea of only using a parachute if you have to (like a superior rank's foot is in your butt, or planey no workey).
