A:  Well, in that case, we can take you hang gliding¹ with one of our experienced² instructors³.  It’s the closest you can get to flying.
B:  What? You mean strap⁴ myself to a flimsy kite? No,thank you! Next!
A:  Mmm.  OK.  Well, why don’t you tell me a little bit more about what you would like?  We have everything from mountain biking, to rock climbing to street luge.
B: I’m thinking something exciting but. safer.
