yesterday we headed out to the red bull flugtag where they launch all these crazy flying contraptions off a platform to see how far they will fly. it was pretty funny. one was a rubix cube, a car, a dude a bike, a dragon. most of them didn’t stand a chance and went straight down. at times, i was a bit concerned for the people on them when they landed…you know…broken vertebrae and such. i’m posting the winner…this was absolutely amazing. we didn’t witness it though. the scorching heat drove us away early. watching this, i can’t believe how it didn’t occur to someone else to create one similar. previously, i think the record was 81 feet…now it’s set at 155 feet!! wow! the admirable part of it was that they had to land in the cumberland river. i never even knew how horrible and nasty the river was until i read an article about one group saying that was the part that concerned them the most…the possibility of coming out with another arm or strange defect. funny.
