Hi Douglas,

I'm afraid that if I proposed that, my doctors would say for me to 
forget the chute and just jump.  After open heart surgery to install two 
mechanical heart valves in 1993, I was told to give up climbing on 
ladders and rooftops.  And, the FAA told me to forget about trying to 
get my Medical Certificate renewed.  I'm grounded!
