    It looked pretty boring when viewing the footage on sky and that was a heck
    of a lot of boxes.

    The Jeb Corliss footage is amazing to look at along with oogling at
    Roberta Mancino action.

    Jeb Corliss I reckon would have done it with a little more control and style.
    I liked his idea of a sloped ramp type landing instead of crashing into a runway of cardboard. But fair play to the dude who done it, I must Google him now to see if he's other videos online.

    yet it was; silly boxes got in the way I bet he's gutted he factored em in at all else he was landing like a plane with no such 'necessity'

    Well, I suppose the next step is to strap wheels to his knees and elbows, and try landing on a runway ... and hold it together when he touches down at 50mph. I wonder how close he can get to stalling i.e. is it a progressive stall, or is it like flicking a switch and losing all lift at once?

    Anyway, to close this off, here's the video. I thought it would last a bit longer, but that's gravity for you ...

    What did they do with all the boxes afterwards?

    Anyone want to build a fort?

    I could do this. But my landing would be more sudden and I'd have a splitting headache afterwards.
