The calculations for bungee jumping give me the willies, and they're pretty basic 1st and 2nd order newtonian mechanics. There's a whole bunch of hope'n'aprayer to that sort of "flight." It looks like hella fun, and I'm sure that with practice it gets a lot easier, but my comfort factor is somewhere this side of "and remember to hold your arms all the way out or you'll pancake at 200+ mph."
