So am I, but I'm sure that if you fall from 12 MILES that you won't mind much by the time you hit the ground
I'd do it. I wouldn't want to be the first though.
Imagine that thing coming down
Twelve miles of falling, you would mind a lot. Think about your 19 year old thigh-gapped girlfriend you'll never see again.
Pizza.
Other things that matter.
Tons to think about while you plummet.

Only after I've had a case of 211 high gravity and about three lines of Coke

Yeah I feel like it would get worse the longer the fall is

What if you were riding in that thing with some fat guy who just had beans and cabbage for lunch?

I guess none of these people made a lego tower too tall when they were kids.

A parachute won't do you any good 12 miles high.

Yeah, you'd need a pressurized suit. I know someone had jumped from further up, but they had equipment.

She's 20 now, but would you not die in the fall? I mean, at 12 miles up are you going through any part of the atmosphere to burn you up? You'd definitely reach speeds that you could position your body in a way that the wind would snap your neck so you could just die like that.

Don't worry, they'll install a water slide to take you to the bottom if the elevator goes down.

Nope nope nope

No, I would go down in it tho!
Lots of folks have joined the Mile High Club but how many have membership in the Twelve Mile High Club?

I've been readin' a lot about Bear Attacks lately -- and I'm sure in some way you'd try to make it faster -- but I can't imagine what it'd be like to think about ways to end my life faster as I plummet. I'm sure that thing would have enough protection for reentry.
Anyway, bears are now the scariest thing for me.

Bear attacks are no joke, man.
No matter how cuddly they are.

Well yeah, Bears are the #1 threat to America.
Only some psycho like Dwight Schrute would like bears... beets... and Battlestar Galactica

And after a tireless search of fatal bear attacks on Wikipedia -- I agree.
Did you know they bury you after they've killed you to come back for later?
Savages.

Bears are able to consume between 12 and 40 kg of fresh meat in a day. However, consumption is not indiscriminate and typically reflects marked preference for some carcass parts. Almost universally, the most favored or at least first eaten portion of a female is the udder. After that, most bears eat the brisket and adjacent rib meat or the meaty proximal part of the front legs. Most carcasses are cleanly eviscerated soon after they are killed or found by a bear, with the heart, liver, and lungs selected for priority consumption. The skin, hair, rumen, and stomach are the most consistently unused soft parts of a carcass. In fact, a more-or-less neatly pealed off hide is one of the more diagnostic signatures of bear involvement. Bears are also one of the few consumers that can readily crack the major leg bones of a larger ungulate in pursuit of the marrow. Some bears even get into the habit of cracking the skull so that they can consume the brains.
There are other features that distinguish carcass use by grizzly bears. If there are enough edibles to warrant the investment, a bear will typically bury the entire carcass or selected parts of it by scraping adjacent soil and litter over the tidbit with its front paws. Presumably this inhibits decomposition and the dissemination of scent that might attract competitors. As further sign of ownership, you might even find a bear sprawled directly on top of a carcass, attempting to rest while at the same time prevent pilfering by other scavengers. A bear may also move an intact or even partly consumed carcass to a spot more to its liking. If the carcass is not fresh, a drag trail of shed ungulate hair will connect the new carcass location with the rumen contents left at the original site of death. In addition, there are often bear beds nearby and a bear trail leading to the nearest available water (an apparent necessity when consuming such a protein-rich diet).

White was backpacking alone along the Toklat River. After hikers found an abandoned backpack and torn clothing, rangers investigated and found a male grizzly bear sitting on White's remains. The bear was shot and killed by an Alaska State Trooper. A necropsy of the bear and photographs recovered from White's camera confirmed the attack.[23]
Goddamn savages.
