For me it was when I found out that there really wasn't a BoneProne, and that the whole thing is a hoax. (Just kidding... or am I?)

Ok, as it turns out, I'm really good friends with Brian Simpson, (Stuntman) he doubled Kevin Peter Hall in "Predator"


One day Brian brought in one of his stunt pads to work, and he thought it would be fun show off a bit during lunch. Well, put a bunch of guys together and sure enough they'll try to out do each other.

Behind our shop was another building which had a ladder to the roof, (look close, you can see their high tech security system, to keep people off the roof).

So Simpson just climbs up and jumps off, some guys decided they could do it to so some would jump from about half way. (It seems so much higher when your up there)

I decided I was "crazy/brave" enough to do it with out looking, so I climbed the ladder, stood backwards, and just let myself fall off backwards. All you see is sky. You can't tell if you're lined up properly, and time seems to slow down. It took forever to hit the pad. It was the most scared I have ever been.

Time slows down maybe so you can scare the shit out of yourself wondering if maybe you pushed to hard when you fell, or maybe you're sideways, and you're going to miss. You just freeze. Suddenly everything speeds up and WHAM, you hit. You stop so fast that you actually lose your breath, but at the same time you feel the rush of adrenaline and you want to do it again. (I didn't)

This is Simpson jumping the first time.
