Random WOW: ' Most Powerful Particle Accelerator '

Most Parachute Jumps in 24 Hours

I love doing parachute jumps. It's great fun.

That, I presume, is what people who do parachute jumps think.

I once watched a programme about parachute jumping, and it looked very dangerous. It was all about these robbers, and they jumped out of a plane to get away from some plane-based cops.
I can't remember exactly how it ended, but I'm sure it was hilarious.

Parachutes work by trapping air in a pocket of fabric, which inflates to an enormous size - in much the same way as a car's airbag inflates, but without a car crash. The parachute owner then rides this pocket to the ground.

Of course, it is also a very dangerous sport, due to the height, and the falling. Many people have died due to parachutes.

Which makes the identity of the holder of this WOW all the more amazing - since she's not dead!

She's Kelly Bode, of America, U.S.A.!
Kelly loves parachuting so much, she even got married while parachuting! Unfortunately, no-one told the Vicar, and he died.

But on the 19th of November 2002, Kelly performed more than 50 parachute jumps in 24 hours, and was forgiven by God!

The most parachute jumps in 24 hours there!
