well, whatever.

btw, just to answer Ivegotthebends almost one year after his post: he for some reason wanted to do himself the dive. But he obviously had no authorization: he stated he'd have thrown a crash test dummy (or whatever are/were they called).

I'm going to quote Bill Hicks a bit out of context here, and to the best of my recollection: "What a tragedy... what a dick! Couldn't he have tried to take off from the ground first? You don't see ducks lining up at the elevators to take off." :-)

Dare I say that he took it on faith that it would work? Spaghetti monsters fly better than that, and they take off from the ground.
