dropdeded 0 #6 October 25, 2003 Ah, it was pretty well done. It wasnt strictly skydiving. It was about people overcoming really bad accidents and living a full life with the results. A snowboarder ending up a parapelegic.... The chicks first jump with her own rig, cant find the hackey, throws way low(I think what the deal was), busts herself up really bad, unconcsious, laying on a hill of fire ants. Im sure the show has been around awhile. But, like I said, I sure hope my Mom wasnt watching. dropdeded------------------------------------------ The Dude Abides. - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice touch ------------------------------------------------------------ From what was said about the Fire Ants, it may have saved her life. The toxins being injected by the ants kept her body chemistry working, fighting the toxins, instead of just quiting.
