It isn’t?

Sure it is just a hop to a broken neck

it’s not the fall that gets you, it is the sudden stop

The 5-story climb should have been your first clue

No helmet, either. R-E-S-P-E-C-T

The Bunny Ski Jump is a bunny slope with a big bunny “hop”.

I once stood at the top of the Olympic ski jump at Lake Placid (as a tourist, NOT as a jumper!). OMG! There is nothing in this world that could induce me to go down that thing (short of a gun pointed at me — and even then).

So, someone told you that a ski jump is a bunny slope!?

Crawl back down, take your skis off, and let’s reflect and review your life, because… … well, let’s face it… you’re gullible.

Kind of like me when I was a kid and the instructor shoved me off the high dive! That was traumatic!

Hi, Bleeb. I’m glad to see that you are smart enough not to go down that thing and are simply enjoying the view from your safe vantage point.

Yes it is. The Bugs Bunny slope.

I won’t be trying any Double Black Diamond runs anywhere at any time. If it is to the point I have to try that, then I have way more problems than navigation of ski run…much less an Olympic ski jump.

It appears that is indeed a slope, and you are apparently the bunny. Let’s see what Darwin decides on this.

Oy

Might not be the bunny slope but it is hair [hare] raising.

Not the bunny slope but you may end up with a hare-line fracture or two.

So – riding the elevator up several floors wasn’t a clue?

That’s the lemming slide

Bleeb must have misled you.

Don’t worry the way that ski jump is built, you aren’t going to fly very far, but your landing may be a tad abrupt.

Waaaaaiiiittttt….Hooooooollllllllllyyyyyyyy Ccccccrrrrraaaaaaapppppp! Mommy!

I went to the top of the ski jump in Squaw Valley in 1960. I agree with cdward. I wouldn’t go down that ski jump on a bet much less any other incentive!

It’s the dumb bunny slope.

So, who first thought it was a good idea to strap two boards to your feet and hurtle off into mid air? And why!?!
