you board the lifeboat after it is launched!

I'd say that was an 8 for technical difficulty and 10 for execution on the front flip.

However, I'd rather be inside wearing a four point harness than try to swim to the thing and board after it has been launched. Might have a bump on my head but I don't like the chances of reaching and boarding the lifeboat after launch!

Those boats are designed to be boarded then launched and they always hit point first but usually not perpendicular like that one. Passengers buckled in properly should be ok even with the front flip.

Podonga!!!

I don't know what it means but it seems appropriate.

WOW!!! I didn't see that one coming!! I think that would be a winner at Water World!!

30 years ago I would have thought that would be fun, now, not a chance I would do that for fun.

**** YA....

I would go for it as quick today as I would have 40 some years ago....
Just would take longer to heal up from the experience today than back then....

Hold my beer, and watch this....
No guts.... No glory.....

Enjoy...
