You don't do that for very long.
And, and then there are, and if you do like some of those jumps in Switzerland, like you would hike for hours, uh,

It's such a deep part of me hopes that it's real, but you're looking out at that,
As you're zipping up your ridiculous nylon suit and checking to make sure everything is there, then you just rock forward, and at some point you rock to a place where you can't go back the other direction.
And you send it, and the first few seconds, because you have no airspeed, the suit doesn't fly, so you're just falling, and then it takes off.
And it's just these right hand turns and right hand turns.
And there are small sections where the angle is correct and you can kind of connect with the train and then get away from it and connect.
The people who are able to survive it are not the ones that are flying three feet off the ground all the time.
