*sigh*

I've looked and looked for the post by footfootfoot for that video of the crazy people riding the rope swing through the canyon. It was thrilling/terrifying to watch... anyhow, tragic news. A 22 year old died as a result of miscalculating the rope length during a similar activity. **shivers** Very very sad.

Yeah, I saw that article and decided to skip that particular activity.

BTW I didn't post that, just commented favorably on it.

The trick is: don't miscalculate the rope length.

I mean, measure 4,545,234 times, and cut once.

I could die in a car accident if I miscalculated the distance to the exit. Operator error shouldn't scare you away.
