I would have to be guaranteed 100% of a few things-the parachute would work and I didn't run out of air and wouldn't be hurt for either.

Other than that, back to sheer terror for me.<br />The last part about your writing, I can understand. I don't think anyone ever thinks of the infernal platform when they decide they want to write. Such is life, you can't have your cake and eat it too.<br />I'm glad your daughter returned safe and sound.
