HAHA that's hilarious! But he had the patience to follow through. I don't and will just grab the phone and pick the numbers manually.

the paraglider also followed through with siri if I understood correctly. He was more patient with siri than with the 911 operator. I tried this on 2 separate occasions in my previous car and it was infuriating experience. The voice would cut me off while I was speaking, saying it was not correct or something. Ronnies blood pressure must have been quite high, I know mine was

Brace for impact. I believe he hit 48 miles per hour
Damn I just watched it. I can totally identify with how that guy felt. I worked on a ladder once and it slid down the wall and I fell on it and a deck. Broke my arm and the pain was unreal. Looking at a twisted arm is a huge shock - I realized my mortality right there. His injuries are far worse. We really are fragile...

Because he knows SIRI is a computer program. The operator should not be wasting time. She can hear the guy is in pain, just get his location ASAP and send paramedics.

I personally have learned to have lower expectations from humans than from machines

Yeah not worth it. Fuck that, I don't need to be an adrenaline junky. There's an older guy in our old neighborhood that I got along with and talked to occasionally. He used to race his Mercedes down his residential street. A year or two back I drove past his house and saw his wife in the driveway. I pulled over and asked her how she and he were doing. She told me he was killed riding his motorcycle a year or two prior. He must have been in his late 70s. I've heard quite a few stories like that. Sometimes a couple are killed on the bike. All it takes is one accident to end it all. I drove a bike in college and had a few accidents. Nothing severe fortunately. Just the motorcycle slipping on leaves, or once I was not paying attention and noticed a car stopped ahead almost too late. I slammed on the brakes and went flying over the bike. I drove it away but the handles were all sideways. I had to aim it to the side to make the bike go straight - haha!

Reminds me of fan man.

These guys fly around my old neighborhood I moved from here in Fl.

These guys are nuts and like attention as much as Bhankins.

It is all part of our desire to chase pleasurable neurotransmitters, I wonder what is the safest, least damaging way to experience a good thrill or high. Probably there isnt and you should just be content with the absence of pain
