Yep, you'd be a spot on the pavement on the far side of the dumpster if you jumped away from the building (you'd propel yourself right over the dumpster), that is, unless you figure out a way to get those flippers to work for flight. Of course, if the dumpster is empty, or full of broken glass or construction debris, it might not make much difference.Pengwuino said:So what, you're telling me its NOT safe to jump away from a building in order to land into the dumpster up against the building?
If you're going to jump off a roof into a dumpster, pick one behind a restaurant...it might smell worst, but there'll be lots of squishy stuff in it to cushion your fall. I'm thinking an Italian or Chinese restaurant might be the best...lots of waste pasta and rice sounds much better than all those T-bones and ribs at the steakhouse. (You'd think I might have scored higher with such gems of wisdom as this one. )
