Could we please quit this conversation? Bungee jumping from a
chopper is out. Ever seen anyone doing it IRL? There's vertical
shift, there's wind speed, there's (as you rightly pointed out)
the air fron the rotor... It's not like jumping from a bridge
or a balloon. A chopper is a damn difficult thing to control,
that causes noise, wind, and, besides this, who sould want to
jump from a chopper? As I stated before, when you fall, you just
fall. You don't do anything else. *IF* you are really good, you
can do something on your way back up. *IF* you are really good.
Ah, and as I stated before, I speak from personal experience,
just in case you wondered. Not a BIG experience, but unless you
tried it, well, trust me... :) (and if you tried it, you know
what I mean.)
