No, she was the smart one and held on... I went after my stupid hat! And it wasn't "swim sweetness" she was saying!

Yeah she's okay. She is banged up pretty good though, we had two other spills that made the one in the video look like a walk in the park. She's a trooper, thank goodness!

Don't forget about Dior, she had fun also! Dior sews parachutes for the solid rocket boosters for the Shuttle. I believe she was trying her weightless imitation here.

They should reconsider using the flash movie player. Waiting for the page to load a whole movie will confuse a bunch of people I think. Or at least have another option. I have been using Windows Media Video... like at the Tiger Worlds. Much quicker to load and starts playing as it is buffering.

Hey Matt,

Flash will also play as it loads. I think the issue here is that the file was made at high resolution, so its ~20 Meg for a 4 minute video. Its a pretty big file. I made a Windows Media version and its not much smaller.

On a highspeed internet connection it should play just fine.

For those on a slower internet connection, I will add lower resolution versions for all videos. The lower resolution versions should load faster.
