[QUOTE="RaWine, post: 29397, member: 3599"] When I was a kid (long time ago) I found out you could make small parachutes with the thin plastic wrap you use to wrap tops of food bowls with. Put a kite string (4) on each corner of a square sheet. Then we would tie them to small plastic army men. They were so light, on a very windy day you could throw them up in front of my house, and if the wind caught them just right they would launch up the slope of the roof and go up to a block away before coming down again. Parachutes, something you could safely drop. (barring the whole legal thing). Guess you could put candy as weight. ~~~~Simple release mechanism -- plastic stick like coffee stirrer. One side attached, other side in a tiny bit of frozen ice --- ice melts, one side releases payload drops. (of course You can't be in freezing weather). No worse than small hail if it falls. Anyone killed by hail that is small? [/QUOTE]
