Hmm to toss or not to toss?

Well, being pretty into the whole photography scene, I checked out the blog of Note: Camera Toss. This is some information about camera tossing that I got off their flickr site. It is posted for informative purposes only.
I think that I am going to look into trying this.. though I don't think I will do it with my Nikon until I am completely comfortable. I think it's a pretty interesting thing that I will be experimenting with later on though-- as part of my later photo-endeavors.
Perhaps, eventually I will get over my paranoia and post some of my stuff.
Anyways, here is the info.. and check out their site to see what it looks like when it's finished.

DEFINING A CAMERA TOSS (and some tips)
- Hands free. Your hands may not be on the camera during the majority of the exposure. Most often that means throwing it. Toss is about fluidity, not just jostling your camera about.

- Experimenting with timers and remote triggers highly encouraged.

- Good catching skills or construction of camera crash nets/pads/bungees/shells highly suggested for high dollar cameras.

- For the most dangerous attempts, use of a very cheap digital or disposable film camera suggested, because they are a cheap investment and pretty indestructible.

- Use of tripods, for reasons of your personal well-being, is highly discouraged. ;)
