I love Carey Pike... and I want the entire world to know (smiley face goes here)

Look down below...
I just though of something… something so bizarre it just might work.
So each year there are a select few people who find it within themselves to test the laws of physics and hurl themselves off of tall buildings in an attempt to reach a state of terminal velocity before coming to an abrupt on the road thus forcing the body to crumple into a boney mass of general “ouchiness”
This thought does have a prelude though. I’ve seen football pitches on the roves of some Japanese office blocks. Make sense I guess to have it up with the whole over-crowded city thing going on below. So yes… fields on rooftops right. But what happens when some poor sod shanks the ball and sends in whistling through the air and down to the streets. That china just lost his favourite aerodynamically designed, Nike football (aerodynamically down a 47 story building)
So now… why not put huge nets across the gaps between the taller buildings? Not like fishing nets, but rather, the nets they use under the trapeze to prevent acrobats breaking there necks during practice. This way, every time somebody jumps from a building, they land not on an area of hard concrete/tar but rather on a soft lattice of rope. Wait. They might bounce. On that net. Into the façade of the building. Only thought of that now… although that could be quite humorous.
No! That’s a horrible notion … death is seldom funny.
I am going to leave now before I get banished from the interweb for impure thoughts.
