Inventions Update - #3
I'm currently working on a new type of parrachute. The way I see it there are a few major problems with the current set up.
1- you have to wear this big bag on your back
2- you have to fold this thing yourself and then hope you folded it right
3- when you are done you have this huge mess to fold up (or just set on fire)

My new design is inspired by the bubble boy. I'm going to use a super strong material that weighs almost nothing and is very thin so it could compact into a small size that you could put in your fanny pack. the leading contender right now is high quality toilet paper. This would be formed into a ball shape that you get inside. Once inside you would put on a little breathing thing like the one James Bond used to swim around. Its about the size of one of those Texas size pencils. Then you would close the ball up and open a little canister that fills the ball with somthing lighter than air. Then just roll yourself out of the plane. The trick would be balancing the ammount of gas with your body weight so you can control your rate of decent.

I know... nothing for over a week and then 2 posts in one day. I've had two Dr Peppers this morning.
