The jumping part is not really a worry. Fortunately once a person is in the water, they are mostly bouyant (no weight), so it doesn't pose a problem. Plus, there is a lot more to my job than the chopper aspect. Race weekends are almost a 24/7 job.
Dad said he knows a guy that was from Minn. He was always biotching about the weather changes there. He said one day it would be -50, the next -30, then -50 etc. He said, "Damnit, I wish it would just get cold and stay cold!" :sifone:
