A close 'in person' friend of mine tried skydiving. Her husband goaded her into it. I thought it would be fun if her video got a LOT of attention. The first 4 minutes are pretty boring, but you just have to check out her smile, it never stops from the moment she leaves the plane until the time she lands. It just has to cheer you up.

A great video and a great landing! But how the hell can anyone smile as they're jumping out of a plane mystifies me - I'm terrified of heights!
Thanks for sharing, Poots.

The story ...
Guitarist's anti-airline hit takes off Article from: Agence France-Presse July 10, 2009 07:30am
AN irked Canadian musician who accused United Airlines of breaking his prized guitar has taken his revenge, writing a song that has become an internet hit and a public relations disaster for the airline.
Dave Carroll composed “United Breaks Guitars” and posted it on YouTube after he said the airline damaged his treasured Taylor acoustic at Chicago's O'Hare airport last year.
”We were sitting at the back of the plane with the band, and a woman who didn't know we were musicians yells out, 'Oh, my God they're throwing guitars outside',” Carroll said.
After months of trying to get the airline to pay compensation and help repair the 3,500-dollar-instrument ($3844), Carroll changed tack.
”I had this sort of epiphany,” he told the Canadian Broadcasting Company, “I'm going to write... songs about your airlines and I'm going to put them on YouTube and talk about my experience.”
“United Breaks Guitars” has received more than half a million views on YouTube and had been covered by major news networks in Canada and the United States.
The video features the folk-rockers looking on in horror as United ground staff play clumsy catch with the guitar case and pound it with mallets.
”This struck a chord with us,” Robin Urbanski, spokeswoman for Chicago-based United, told the Chicago Tribune.
“We are in conversation with one another to make what happened right.”
In the spring of 2008, Sons of Maxwell were traveling to Nebraska for a one-week tour and my Taylor guitar was witnessed being thrown by United Airlines baggage handlers in Chicago. I discovered later that the $3500 guitar was severely damaged. They didnt deny the experience occurred but for nine months the various people I communicated with put the responsibility for dealing with the damage on everyone other than themselves and finally said they would do nothing to compensate me for my loss. So I promised the last person to finally say no to compensation (Ms. Irlweg) that I would write and produce three songs about my experience with United Airlines and make videos for each to be viewed online by anyone in the world. United: Song 1 is the first of those songs. United: Song 2 has been written and video production is underway. United: Song 3 is coming. I promise. Full Story: http://www.davecarrollmusic.com/story
