    I assume you're trying to be clever...

    ...he didn't say w/o feet. He said feet first. You've never heard of jumping head first? On your belly? On your back? :rolleyes:

    What's your problem? :confused:

    The guy said he jumped feet first? Why make a big deal out of it? Without clarifying how he jumped, you'd have no reason to assume it was feet first...a dive is considered a jump, a belly-flop is considered a jump, and any other position is still considered a jump. :rolleyes:

    What if he didn't jump off and just walked off. Then it would be a fall.

    Anyone else read "Suicide bomber downtown" and has his heart skip a few beats?

    Glad it is only this (as horrible as that may sound)
