I don't care whether or not they're strapped in place; you've got to be
absolutely bonkers to do that stuff.

I know plenty of people who would pay good
money for a ride like that.........

As an advertising medium, you would think the aircraft's wings lent themselves
more to something like Depends or BVDs than skincare.

People still pay to go bungie-jumping.

For reasons that escape me.......

I remember when they were advertising pseudo-butter, and confectionery
before that - again, not much logic there.

I suppose that there would be some logic to their being sponsored by a
low-cost airline, which would also give the more satirically-minded of
us a little amusement.

activities of the 1920's.

But doesn't government safety regulation prohibit the more
extreme stunts? I know that in a reaction to accidents that
occurred during the barnstorming of the 1920's there were
regulations put in place. I am just not sure about the limits
of those regulations. Have the stunts of the 1920's been
forever outlawed?

I concur. If I wanted to commit suicide, I'd tie the rope around my neck,
not my ankles. ;-)

Bungie jumping is GREAT GREAT GREAT - by the way.
