the game is to land fading with the

on his back. The landing field looked
as though 1t was already dragged snf-

person could gradually turn a chute
around by twisting the lower limbs
around IN circles This is a fallacy,
as such cortoFtions, reminding the
audience of an animated pretzel, leave
the chute and the passenger facing in
exactly the same direction as they
were originally.
Ground Rises Up
The ground was rising faster and
faster all the time, and it seemed rea-
sonable to survey the portion irnmedi-
ately underneath. Another theory is
that you can pull on the cords on one
side, spilling the wind, SO to speak,
and sideslip toward the softest part of
the neighborhood. This was done and
worked very nicely; however, it
seemed to accelerate everything and
the next idea was a good one--to leave
