True, I spent a decent amount of time on the Sea King simlator at RNAS Culdrose when I was a kid and saw that you didn't even need to have  the hydraulics on for the scenery to bugger up your balance after a while.

I suppose that the VR headsets make it a cheap way to change the rollercoaster ride. If say flying in a battle stopped being popular you chould easily change the program to riding on a dragon and hey presto new ride available.  rubschin:

But again, you can do it in a sim - no need to build a roller-coaster....

It can be flying a Spitfire one day, the Red Arrows the next and a dragon the day after....

But you can't beat the thrill of thinking you might just fall out of the harness and die....

The universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements. Energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest.

No BM, you can't push Apey off the top. Besides I can't see padlock pockets paying to get up there in the first place.  noooo:

It's safe to say I've found my bucket list limit. A bungee jump where instead of wearing a harness like a sensible thrillseaker, the rope is attached to to the skin around your spine with bloody great big hooks...  eeek:

Bollocks to that I say  noooo:
