   135ft drop on side and 90ft of water on the other.

   we did have a 345ME with a hammer and multi-processor up their. To take care of the I-beam bridge that ran across the spillway. With that 345 you only had about 1 ft on each side. Plus with the ME style of tracks it sits higher so it could clear the railing when it would swing.

   I'm thinking a parachute would have been more appropriate

    Not to steal bigcat's thunder, but I believe it is the Hoopes Resevoir and dam in Delaware. As far as seat belts, at Myers the rule is: if the seat belt doesn't work, the machine doesn't move:ban
