Of course, I'd want to watch somebody else do it before I gave it a shot. I did a drop slide at Raging Waters in San Dimas, CA that was probably only about 40' tall, but was poorly designed so that riders weren't touching the surface of the slide for most of the drop. Since I approached it from the backside, I didn't see it in action, but after I got off it looked like everybody was having that same moment of panic as they free-fell off the side. As long as it's not like that, I'm in!

On that, I have to worry about riding with someone who may be an idiot and fly us all out.
