Nah there's no way you'd be able to even get out of the plane with a parachute strapped to you ... in fact I'm sure that a shoe-horn is required equipment to get you *into* the plane in the first place! ;)

What was the quote being used on my course..."Go to Bunnings get some timber, build a bridge and get over it" :P haha they're wanting a gift card purchased but i don't see the point of buying the card yourself and then using it. But seriously, if I'd attempted that I'd have crashed and burned on landing...if I'd gotten that far!
