I saw video of this guy flying his rig on ABC news. Jumped from
somewhere around 30K using oxygen and a specially heated suit.

Since we were discussing glide ratios earlier, I fail to believe he
would have made it that far if his wing set-up was made of lead. He'd
have been feeding the sharks at the bottom of the channel faster then
a speeding bullet.



Nah, all the channel traffic killed them off thousands of years ago! ;-)
