the altitude to leave the helicopter to fly through it anyways. so i m not going to be able to do a practice jump right now. all of my practice days, you know, i was going to be able to do five jumps a day for five days and lead myself into this thing. i didn t get any of them. none. right now the conditions are ideal. finally, a break in the weather. corliss races to make much needed practice runs only one day before the event. there he is! wow! i do my first practice jump flying over it. i m looking down going, like, oh, you know. i open and come into the landing area and slam in. a horrible landing. i mean, bad. and then all of a sudden it started dawning on me, i just spent the last year and a half getting better. so now i m going to get totally broken again and have to go through another six months of recovery if i m lucky. stunt day arrives with more bad weather.
time i ve ever felt that close to rock was when i impacted table mountain. as i popped out the end of it, i realized, i m like, i m going too fast to open. i m like, i cannot open my parachute right now. then i m like, if you don t open now, you re not going to make it to your landing area. you have to open right now. my parachute opens with such force that it literally rips cameras off of my head. they go i watch them get launched like boom! oh! then i m like okay, grab a toggle. i turn, see my landing area, and i m like, oh, man, i am not going to make it. come on, come on, i grab my legs and impact, boom! i remember laying there like, i couldn t believe. it like i literally could not believe that i had gotten out of the helicopter, that i had flown through it, that i had gotten a good opening, had landed where i was supposed to land, and i was okay. the one remaining camera records his landing. yes! whoo! holy mother!

cardboard is amazing stuff, really, in terms of breaking one s fall. my box break was 350 feet long, about 42 feet wide, and probably about 12 feet deep. a team of more than 100 friends and supporters spends all morning building the landing area, before connery puts it and himself to the test. i remember walking with my wife, across to the helicopter, and then we had a big hug and a squeeze and a cuddle, and a kiss. she walked off in tears, and that caused me to be in tears. it s no surprise connery s wife is concerned. between the years 2000 and 2012, more than 50 people died in wing suit jumps. the helicopter climbs to 2,400 feet, the height of two empire state buildings, if you stacked one on top of the other, nearly
your ticket to a better night s sleep martha: a hot air balloon made an unexpected landing in the highway. it pushed the balloon away from intended landing area and the pilot to the only thing he could do, set it down next to a shopping center on the road. the winds were not what i would have liked direction wise. they were little too far west of the area we usually clear of obstacles. there were no cars in it when i was landing. the cars are now being directed to stay out of our way. martha: the people at the mall helped pull the balloon away from the light poles. the wizard of oz had the same problem. bill: pretty good job by the pilot. better than the house.
