Looks good, but what's the actual distance? How does it compare with average long jumpers?

In my personal experience suicides are higher than homicides. Most suicides are by gun owners and 2nd are hangings. Jumpers in 3rd place. Near the bottom of the list are the ones who stab themselves in the heart. Only had 2 suicides by helium.

Nice of the baboon to give Jumper a leg up.

He's there because the jumpers have no upper body strength?

Huh... I always thought "best rope-jumper", but she's the expert on what to call it, I suppose!

I hate to say it, but @Drachen_Jager has a point. Most countries do rely on immigrant labor, but we specifically and intentionally rely on illegal immigrant labor. Legal immigrants have the protection of labor laws, you can't work them 14 hours a day for $3 an hour with no overtime then stiff them if you feel like it, but you can do that to illegals, it's still better than what they can get at home usually.

While you haven't hired illegals, you have benefited from their cheap labor if you've bought agricultural products from America. I'm afraid we have not decided the cheap labor isn't worth the risk yet.....at best about 45% of us voted that way, which is as good a measure as any. I think if we do eliminate illegal laborers we'll see a backlash over the price hikes that must follow from many of the same people screaming for a wall today.

While some do use border jumping as an alternative to a difficult, long application process doesn't mean that most border jumpers would be accepted...criminal records, illiteracy, homelessness, and desperation can make that process impossible or many. Some have other options, many don't.

Not sure what you mean about being addicts. Addiction is not the only motivation out there, you know....nor is it the only excuse tolerated for inappropriate behavior.

The ball has air in it. The jumper used the artificial force of his weight to carry the ball well past it's buoyancy point. Since every action has an equal and opposite reaction, the ball skyrockets.

Drop impact is different.

Sorry, I did mean to put up a translation. I'm not 100% sure of this, but it should be close enough to get the idea:

Everybody plays Alphorn on the Mountainside, but at night in the Paul Theater's undercover carpark? The awesome reverberant acoustics simply demanded an encore :-)
Spontaneous session of the backing musician after the performance of "Jumper&Preuss" at Paul-Theater in Straubing (in the south of Germany, in Lower Bavaria). And for all those who can't believe you could top this, there is a second part with an equally unusual wind instrument...
Filmed just as spontaneously, quick and dirty filming, hand-held and without a camera rig - so please excuse any slightly dodgy focusing

In order to go anywhere, I either have to drive 6 hours to SF or add $500+ for airfare to take a puddle jumper/prop airplane from here to there. That trip has gotten really old, as has the 12-16 hour drive to LA. I SO wish this tech would be perfected, I would rent one every time I had to make the trip if I can't buy one.
I've been driving for over 30 years...I'm over it. Certainly there are times when I want control, but there are more times when I just wish the car would take me home and I could pass out from exhaustion. The Tesla update isn't quite there yet, but it's a big step in that direction....once they get there, I just need someone to hand me a Tesla and I'm set. Oprah...I'm looking in your direction.

That's very cute

Some kids just LOVE the jolly jumper anyway... but using it and some creative editing to choreograph the kid is just genius.

At what point does this intersect with base jumpers who can fly horizontally for far greater distances? It seemed as though this guy was simply limited because the mountain ended...

Would the jumper make the Guinness book of records?

I like the dinosaur christmas jumper
