Leaps of faith...and lucky escapes!

Following on from last week's theme - laughter therapy and leaps of faith - I discovered that several people have (in the past) - found these types of strategies to be of benefit when dealing with issues:

HOW TO JUMP FROM A BUILDING INTO A DUMPSTER
from The Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook

1. Jump straight down; If you leap off and away from the building at an angle, your trajectory will make you miss the dumpster. Resist your natural rendency to push off.
2. Tuck you head and bring your legs around; To do this during the fall, execute a three-quarter revolution - basically, a not-quite-full somersault. This is the only method that will allow a proper landing, with your back facing down.
3. Aim for the centre of the dumpster or large box of debris.
4. Land flat on your back so that when your body folds, your feet and hands meet; When your body hits any significant surface from height, the body folds into a V. This means landing on your stomach can result in a broken back.

BE AWARE

1. If the building has fire escapes or other protrutions, your leap will have to be far enough out so you miss them on your way down. The landing target needs to be far enough from the building for you to hit it.
2. The dumpster may be filled with bricks or other unfriendly materials. It is entirely possible to survive a high fall (five stories or more) into a dumpster, provided it is filled with right type of trash (cardboard boxes are best) and you land correctly.

There are of course - much simpler...err...less dangerous and FUN methods ;-) to sorting out the BIG and small stuff in life! Notice how you manage your 'stuff' over the coming week. Is it working for you? What could you do differently - less dramatically/drastically - to greater effect?

In the meantime - enjoy this link! :-) see below...
