I was a little crazy when I was younger...

I can't believe this was ten years ago. (I don't do stuff like this any more...)
Hot air balloon rappel and skydive!
This version is a little low res...I downloaded it from Facebook.

wow, hanging down that rope with no safety, can't say I'd do that. Two ropes or a rope and a rig, no problem, but my heart skipped a beat when I noticed no rig!!! And then trying to put it on in the air, wow!!! Yes, statistically chances of something going wrong are so slim, but it still takes some pretty big balls to do it!

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

It was safer than it looks because I clipped a strap carabiner to my climbing harness and to the green rope so it could slide along. If the main rope had failed I'd still be attached to the green one.
 
What I didn't care for is my friend tying everything to the single point...If I remember, at the last minute I started tying extra knots onto other things LOL.
