New Sport Craze: Live Turkey Parachuting
`A new sport is sweeping the nation. Skydivers are jumping out of planes without parachutes. They are attaching themselves to a string of live turkeys. Apparently the turkeys go nuts and flap their wings and act as a parachute. And with live turkeys going for less than a dollar a pound it costs a lot less than a parachute which can cost over a thousand bucks.
�Turkey parachuting is really opening the plane door for a lot of skydivers who normally would be put off by the high price of parachutes,� says skydiving instructor Nebold Einacracker. �Since turkeys are cheaper than parachutes we offer lower prices now for skydiving lessons and jumps. People also like jumping from a plane using natural live turkeys, not an artificial petroleum based parachute.�’
