Wouldn't it be great if you could combine the fun of parachuting and bungee jumping? Suppose you were to jump out of an airplane attached to a bungee cord. The pilot could allow you to fall slower, faster, left, and right. When you were done, they could just reel you back in. If this was done in a helicopter,
you could stand on the ground (attached to the bottom by a bungee), and the helicopter would rapidly rise. You would feel a pull upwards, then suddenly fly up (not sure if a helicopter could rise fast enough for this).

And, the guy who jumped is *blind*! (be sure to check out the "Human Cannonball" where he is fired from a trebuchet) [Klaatu, Oct 17 2004]

This idea is different from your link [Klaatu] because it is 'launched' from the ground, for the helicopter part anyway. |

I've always been enamored of the prospect of skydiving from a hot-air balloon, myself. |

Aren't the rotor blades a mild concern? Was that intended humour? |
