Fragment to fragment clings, and thus they grow

That is crazy. I saw something about this on TV once. I think most of them check the depth of the powder they're going to land in, you'd hope so anyway.

There's at least one guy who does it without checking, and on the TV program he said that Jesus will guide him to a safe landing. Rather him than me.
