    Well after years of telling people that you could use a plastic grocery bag as a break cord, someone actually believed me. Next time you are sitting around bored with an extension cord, plastic grocery bag, and a short cliff- you are in business. Electrical tape works well too, but only when its warm out.

    You left the best part of the story out though. Not only did Tree talk someone else into breakbagging, he had that guy PCA him first!

    I would take it seriously; but it's serious and ridiculous at the same time. -sl

    I've heard something about using condoms also..... I would think condoms might be a litlle spendy to use for jumping. It would be the ONLY time breaking a rubber is something to look forward to.

    I remember the my first "baggin' " hehe. I was on the balconey of the 17th floor in a hotel on the beach... I had everything I needed except... you guessed it, break cord... Being the semi-intelligent fucker I am, I looked around the room and saw a plastic grocery bag... I flattened it, cut a strip down where the plastic handles were... made 2 twisted links and used a french link...

    Ok so I chickened out on that low Building, but I did end up useing it on a 300 ft freestander... I must mention that I feel that twisting the platic is integral with something to do with the strength of the pull force....

    Now that I have done it from 300, I'd go back to that "B" and try it...

    ADDED... I will have to go find the video of me using it.... (more to follow)
