    I just imagine how insanely cool, but freaky that would be. I think I'd dig it.

    Thats an amazing story, im suprissed she didnt die form the quick gain of altitude. From 2500 feet to 32612 feet in 15 minutes is quick, I know its said if you go straight from sea level to the top of everest, you would die in less than 10 minutes. Seems almost superhuman to me.

    Plus the fact she kept dropping altitude so quickly then going way up just as fast!
