The fall rate is 1 foot down for every 3 feet forward....and no-one has landed one without a parchute yet....but they are trying. You need roughly 200 free-fall jumps before anyone (worth paying) will show you the ropes of the bird suit. There is currently a race going on to see who will be the first to land a bird suit without a parachute.... and live of course..... ____________

He's not to concerned about having the ash from his fag fall on his suit and burn a hole or two in it.

he's not concerned about a lot of shit - like how I found out he split from work a few months ago to jump off a bridge in rush hour traffic. he says it makes him feel "alive" ____________ What business is it of yours where I'm from, Friendo?
