Re: [fast5] Re: What just happened???

There is a lake near me, and someone had routed the water jets from a jet ski into boots, so as being pulled behind the ski, he got boosted into the air on "stilts" of water, about 10 feet. I guess if a person wants to do something like that, doing it over water is best.
