Oh yes, I think the ones I saw there were similar to the ones in the third picture. The multicolored ones with the red and green. The colors were changing all the time, too - like a crazy christmas decoration or circus advertisement

Wow that's amazing! I wonder how they land when they're going at such high speeds.

Yeah these are CRAZY. I wonder how easy it is do die in these when the distance to the next ledge is misjudged. Geez.
I am pretty sure they are using a parachute to land. Otherwise they would be pretty smashed. That neat Pandora trick with just grabbing some giant leafs wont work here. Ok, sometimes it works and people actually landed alive from almost freefall because they hit plants, but its not so reliable. Ok - I also have no info on how much one can rely on that on Pandora either - and not land on top of some meat eating or thorny plant instead

I think the record survived free fall fall is 33,000ft. A Russian stewardness wa sin a plane when it was bombed, and she survived a free fall somehow by some miracle.

It's possible with extreme luck - she was still badly injured including temporary paralysis.
There were several pilots in WW2 who survived being shot down when having lost their parachute who survived - but for a human, it's still an emergency situation where survival is a chance, and often comes with severe injury.

I'm guessing during the fall they passed out because of air pressure changes, and their body kinda just fell down. Could be wrong though, but I heard the people who jumped off the top of the world trade center would usually pass out before they hit ground.

I'm always surprised by the relative lack of blue species on Earth... but it makes the extant ones look amazing

So, I recently hiked the 211-mile (340-kilometer) John Muir Trail...
      There might not be huge similarities to Pandora here, but every place that the trail goes through is intensely beautiful to me.

I wonder if there are floating plateaus.
