We had a girl get caught over the flying line of a large parafoil at a festival in Queensland. She fell from quite a height and broke a leg, and did some internal damage as well, I think. At the National Stunt Championships at Newcastle earlier this year we has a competitor who performed his routine in a bear suit, to the music of "teddy bear's picnic" He had bears tied onto his kite, and they parachuted off, or slid down the lines to him at varying times of his performance. Someone else up there was doing bungee drops with bears over the heads of a large crowd of children! = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Date: Fri, 30 Sep 1994 00:38:05 -1000 From: kiuchi@bach.seattleu.edu (Kevin K.
