Losing altitude quickly

2003-10-27 19:15:36.306859+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Among my few regrets, not dating all of my writing is pretty high up. Ages ago I pondered screwing up, in the context of Jessie Sharp running Niagara Falls in a C-1. As most of you probably know, an adult recently swam over the falls and survived. Columbine has some short thoughts, but it was today's Farley that made me have to mention it.

And in searching for an article on that, I found a review of Sam Patch, the Famous Jumper and Falling: How Our Greatest Fear Became Our Greatest Thrill. Sounds like the latter might be worth a read.
