So I might be attempting a 117' this year...

There's a 117 footer at a quarry near my house, and it's called Jesus. A few people have done it without getting hurt. I think one broke his wrist, but that's the worst that's happened (that I know of...). So I figure, "If they could do it, so could I." There's a possiblity that I'll go for it this summer, but before I make my decision I wanted to see if anyone has experienced a drop this big and what it was like? Any tips or helpful comments would be appreciated.

(if this hasn't been done yet) try making a bubbler, to reduce surface tension and have a less sudden decelation (sp) (slow down slower)

yeah i don't know if you know this, but things that have been scientifically tested and proven and are used every day by people like the SEALS and the NAVY and search and rescue are generally things that a couple of middle-aged gingers can't really disprove. just because they can't do it doesn't mean it's busted.
