looks like no landing method, just a parachute. possibly no takeoff except from aircraft already in flight.

To me that looks like a failed base jump. You can see him holding a parachute strap with his left hand when he's tumbling on the cliffside.

Hmm. 4/5 of those solutions were pretty disappointing. Balloons, bag of styrofoam, parachute, and... drone airlift
One good tip on the straws one though: don't aim the shock-absorbing straws in at your egg!

Ya know... if I ever became a window washer at a skyscraper...



...I'd wear a parachute to work.

if you hate parachutes that much don't jump out of planes

A friend of mine lost consciousness while parachuting last summer. He says they synched the gear too tight, which cut off his circulation and he passed out. whether he mannaged to deploy his chute, or it opened on it's own, I'm not sure, he doesn't remember anything after that.
He regained consciousness a while after he hit a house and bounced to the ground.
He's lucky to be alive and is continuing to re-learn how to walk again.

My assumption is that whenever possible you'd want the main chute to deploy because the emergency chute is just that: for emergencies.

Kind of like how it's better to use a full-sized tire instead of a compact spare (on your car, not as a parachute).

Is that a normal thing? I don't think I've ever seen a plane with a deployed parachute before.

I don't know anythign about Emma Watson or "he for she" or whatever so I'm not going to comment on that.

But jesus rollerblading christ.... are you seriously comparing the unintended consequences of consensual sex to the violation of someones privacy?

I honestly can't believe what I'm reading.

I would never say that if you don't want a kid, don't have sex. I will absolutely say that if you don't want a kid, practice safe sex.

But it's a biological fact that, with the best will in the world from both parties, children can result from intercourse. Please tell me this isn't news to you.

One is an unalterable fact, like gravity. The other results from someones deliberate actions.

So yeah, if you can go skydiving, accept the fact that if everything goes wrong and you hit the ground, you will get injured.
But don't tell me not to go skydiving in case some asshole cuts my parachute.

I give up. Continue telling this young woman how to live her life and what she should do in the privacy of her own home with her partner.

Can he just parachute down? The climb down is probably a heck of a lot scarier.

Just wanted to comment on what you said here. Isn't that like stepping out of a plane without a parachute? Not many would play with their life like that, yet strangely many are content to play around with their eternity in much the same way. If there is anything you should be sure of in this life, it's where you are going to end up when you die. Above anything else, it's the one thing you don't want to get wrong. You have said that you prefer an indefinite answer, but there is a definite answer as to what will actually happen to you. It's not that anything could happen, it is that something will happen and I think it is in your, and everyones, best interest to find out exactly what that is.
