Snowboards into Orbit

Been watching the Olympics.  The snowboarding is fantastic.  The boarders fly up in the air, 20, 30, 40 feet, flip over, turn around, twist and flip, do 3 and 4 turns, straighten out and land on their feet.  Incredibly good. They fly so high and so fast, that if anything goes wrong, they will get seriously hurt when they hit the ground, snow fences, rails, trees, what ever.  On TV it looks dangerous, but I didn't see anyone loose it and crash.  Really good TV watching, these kids are good, very good, and it's great seeing them fly.
