"This is a usenetter announcement".

"Would Mr Ginge please come to the white courtesy phone."

Ah well the title didn't come up in the google groups search and I
hadn't seen it before.

It's interesting to speculate about falls down very steep slopes which
roll out gently at the base. I've seen vid of a couple of mind
boggling survivals and recall the incident where a bomber crew bailed
at altitude and someone survived, Russian I think, without a
parachute, when he landed on a very steep snowy mountain side. It's in
the GBOR.

You know, I read some of those stories, and I think about my mate who
tripped and hit his head and died instantly, and I think...

It's a funny old life, isn't it?
