Typically the max allowed weight by skydiving companies is in the 100-115 kg range (the harness won't fit well for heavier people). If they really want to skydive they could buy a tailored rig and get special training.

In a solo jump, landing will be an issue even with a bigger chute. Unless you slow down manually in the last seconds, you hit the ground at running speed (horizontal) with about the same vertical speed as a jump from a 2m height. In the first few jumps, getting the timing right to slow the chute at landing time may be tricky.
An average build does not risk much more than a sprained ankle, but someone really obese risks more severe injuries.
Out of 25 people doing their first jumps when I tried, 3 had crutches at the end of the first week.
Tandem jump should be ok.

I've landed a tandem jump flat on my feet with the other guy on my back (instead of dragging along the ground and kicking up dust), he must've had really good control for us to have a feather soft landing.

What does Raige means? As in Cypher Raige. Or is it just a play of words with rage?

This is not how VR works. All you can do is videos from the customers perspective how girls are pleasuring him. And that does already exist in the porn industry. Not only with real life actresses, also with anime girls. Including machines to put ***** in for more "fun".

"If" lol. If fluids were exchanged, it is possible. If fluids were not exchanged, no.

Yes. Though it's fairly unlikely. I would recommend getting checked regardless. Really everyone ought to get checked more often - stripper or not.

If you got a celebrity to sign a contract by getting their autograph (on the contract) it wouldn't stand up in court would it?

Tricking people into signing a contract is illegal; proving you were tricked into signing a contract is difficult.

It woudln't stand up in court and probably there is like a dozen ways of proving the celebrity didn't know he or she was signing a contract. As long as you can prove the celebrity had no intention of doing that the paper is just a weird autograph.

I guess this could be seen as a reason to only make large signatures on stuff? I guess that's what I'd do, after thinking about this. If my signature is always some wild shit that belongs on a poster, no judge will believe it was intentional.
