I won't! I'd probably get vertigo and fall the 3000 ft. to the Colorado River. I'd survive as long as I hit the river, yeah?
If you hit feet first and it's 20-30 feet deep there, maybe. But you'll be one unhappy camper. :lipssealed:

Oh ya, suuuuuuure. That water will be so gentle after falling 3000 ft. I'm sure engineer @cedxc2005 can tell just how much splat you will most likely make. :)
You know me frighteningly well...:giggle:

No worries , just wondering if you had any info on critter control
I wish I did brother Dan. It seems the fine folks at FCA are still scratching their heads. I see plenty of posts with all kinds of strange symptoms. There might even be one or two dudes in the US where all of it actually works.

I'm starting to think that it's actually OK that Wrikki has not seen the update. I would hate to have stuff like the backup markers decide to go and hide. Yes, some have had that happen too.

I'm pretty sure from 3000 feet, all the variables add up to == death :)

I mean, I will probably have gone in to cardiac arrest long before hitting the river.

You would truly hope so at least.

Your legs would be your "crumple zone"...they're more expendable then the rest of you, and can break the surface tension of the water.

I may not be a pro, but if i recall our jump instructor explained to us that at achieving terminal velocity, the human body reacts to impacting water exactly the same way it would to concrete. I believe his exact words were "you hit the water at that speed, the last thing that will cross your mind will be you A$$ hole"

Better yet, I'll wear a wing suit (they don't make one with enough lift for me) and attempt a Capt. Scully like river landing!
Now yer talkin! Look at that dude just skipping across the water like a stone. OH SHIT! He's headed straight for the rock walls. Turn the video off Mabel!

I believe it !

who would have thought that one day we would be driving a Jeep no less that has firmware !

It's a cool feature but not a deal breaker for me
