Just block sender and be done with it But they're often from companies I do want to get emails from, just not these generic marketing emails.

Ah, you're buggered then 100% agree there, as @bickster has alluded to, there is no way back now, no matter what anyone else says. You know Reggie Perrin & the beech thing, that, it's the only way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 OK, this is a real one. What is the maximum length of a ski jump where the jumpee can still survive and get a jolly good score to boot. They land on a slope so it should all be good. I will feel a fool if we have had this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will feel a fool if we have had this before. Impossible to answer as all the hills are different. For example, the record in "Lugnet" Sweden which has Olympic sized hills, is 105 meters. If you go to Vikersundbakken in Norway the record is 254 meters, aka Ski flying. All in all, the competitors are out of their **** minds. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted June 26, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 26, 2019 This is the current official record (there have been longer jumps by 1 meter or so with a fall), the red zone is the "safe" landing part 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a heavy heavy parachute landing every go by the looks of it. On the other hand, climbing poles in a flat country surrounded by rising water is thinking ahead i suppose.

All in all, the competitors are out of their **** minds. That's really cool, along with the video, but I think AND was getting at whether there was a limit to how far the skier could jump before it became fatal. Like if the slope was endless would they theoretically be able to go forever and survive the landing when they eventually touched down? Or is there a point where, regardless of the sloped landing, they'd be killed. If he didn't mean this then I'm not sure what it says about my mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
