No more C***f today, my head hurts.
For the past four years, Rantoul has hosted the World Free Fall Convention.
And every year at least one person dies from falling from a plane, getting chopped up by a plane, bouncing off a lake after jumping from a plane or some related leaving an airplane and screwing up problem.
Another one died Sunday, as you know if you read lbop
The News Gazette reported that A Florida sky diver died at the World Free Fall Convention in Rantoul on Saturday after reportedly experiencing difficulty with his parachute.
The convention isn't over yet. Cross your fingers.
Every year, following the festival, Rantoul folks declare that the festival has been a resounding success.
And every year I keep wondering: What's the acceptable fatality rate for a resounding success?
And so it goes.

These are crazy people - they accepted the risk. They knew that they could die doing it.
On a tangent, I wonder if it would be considered a success if nobody died. The whole thing could be a scheme to slowly eliminate the people who think its alright to jump out of planes for fun.
