How would you like to be on the beach when this goes by?

:yikes: If something ever went wrong with a landing: those folks would be wishing that they had vacationed in Walt Disney World instead... nojoke

A simple answer to your question. Not only no, but Heck No. :thumbup:

There are plenty of signs warning you of the danger. Why would you do that?

From reports, the woman in the 2012 video was not seriously hurt, however there was a 57 year old woman who died more recently.
Seems like a really stupid idea. Putting yourself into such danger merely for the excitement.
Excuse me, I've got to go check the battery tender on my Spyder before I go skiing.

Thanks for that clarification! :thumbup:
I was pretty sure that I had read about a death from this: I just got the wrong lady... pps:

Deb and I have been there three times.

We were never so stupid as to go and stand by the fence when one was taking off. That is just plain stupid, but people always rush up there to stand by the fence when one is taking off, or landing. At least they close the road each time.

It is quite a feeling when a big 747 jumbo lands and it clears the fence by only 15'-20'.

We were there for an hour, or so each time and the planes take off and land constantly.
