Parasailing

Our first real activity as a class was aerospace physiology which contained an interesting class on parachute landing falls, the final test was an actual parasailing ride.  Hitched between an off road truck with 300'-600' of rope and a parachute, each member was given a true sense of an actual parachute fall from a height of 150'-300', needless to say good times for all.
