LOL! Reminds me of the early aviation pioneers. One of the bravest once raced his Indian motorcycle the length of a rigid airship, rocketing off the end on a trajectory which he computed would land him on a large trampoline 5000 feet below. There was some slight error in his calculation. Oh well..., at least his engineering design of the trampoline was not put to the test. I imagine there were some further errors in that design as well.
