    Amazing! =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

    24 1/2 miles! There was a scary moment when Felix started tumbling wildly. He can't release the chute when he's flailing. I thought it was all over, then he managed to stabilize. It was miraculous. =^..^=

    What an incredible event! I don't like being 24.5 feet off the ground, much less 24.5 MILES. But what a view he had!!

    Going up in the first place was gutsy, jumping off was flat-out ridiculous! Props to Mr. Felix!

    An amazing feat, but imagine the splat and crater if his parachute didn't open.

    Something similar to this methinks?

    It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

    Hit it.

    Wouldn't have to bury him, just fill in the crater - not that there would be enough left to bury anyway.
