It would be hard it say which act of the show wa. mi>*t daring, and all the ?ili-tators would not agree on this. Hui the delayed jump from an altitude of 10.000 feet in which a human body was seen to plummet toward the ground for fifteen breathless seconds before the parachute was seen to open would probably get the vote from most of I hose present.
