Speaking of drag chutes, my brother when he was 14 or 15 actually tried to see if a drag chute would slow him down on a bike. He got a large plastic dry cleaning bag (not the first time he employed a large dry cleaning bag for a stunt), then proceeded down the road on his bike at about 15 mph, then with both hands holding the bag and not the bike he deployed the bag...sending him off the seat and onto the pavement! You cannot imagine how hard I was laughing.
:lol: Too bad cellphone videos weren't yet ubiquitous back then!
