Exactly...and with only six months to live, WE DON NEED NO STINKING TRAINING! If you land it, great. if you die trying...what a way to go!

The ultimate would be making that leap while having sex. What a way to go!

I dislike fizzy sugar juice, but I absolutely love what they are doing with the profits. Go Red Bull!

Didn't James Bond already do this? Or was it Tom Cruise?
