Incredible. That's gotta be scary, trying to go down and just getting blown higher and higher.

So, where's a paragliding school in MD... ;)

You can censor anything you like, baby. ;)

(Haha, what does that even mean?)

Heh, sorry, A, just joking around.

Anyway, yeah, that's a crazy story. That reminds me of that one story a week or so ago that they kept showing in the news about that one sky diver who survived a fall when his parachute failed to open by landing in a bush.

I am very happy that she survived. #1. Because her death would have been tragic, and #2. because she is quite hot.

I reckon she looks a bit like Mira Furlan!

Guess the oxygen mask didn't drop from her overhead canopy...maybe hangglider manufacturers will now make this a standard feature?
