    Maybe they are tethered to a kite so they can give such good reports from being aloft.

    Don't think I'd be that brave; could be struck by lightning or something.

    Whatever he was tethered too was off camera Kg so I couldn't see it. That kite thing is true. If you could survive it what glorious views you'd see of down below from up above. Theoretically. Thank you for your reply! :)

    You are a brave lad! I saw one guy dressed from head to toe in rain gear with goggles on and around his wat waist a tether was holding him upright in place. Now what he was tethered to was off camera so I couldn't see it. I don't know if he was having "fun" exactly Ele. Would you do something like that if your job required it? I mean what if the tether were defective and snapped? AARRGGH! Thank you for your reply! :)
