     Those early levitators never got any higher than two feet off the ground, but consoled themselves by using altitude above sea level as the measure of success. Thus the great schools of levitation were founded in Tibet, where beginners had less of a distance to fall. Measured from the ground, the greatest successes were to be found above large salt deposits. However, this was as much a product of their increased confidence as of the physical properties of salt. The actual weight difference was negligible, but because they expected to have an easier time floating above salt deposits, they did, as a self-fulfilling prophecy.

     A scary experiment was tried in a cargo helicopter. A levitationer raised herself the full two feet, the helicopter then took off and she stayed two feet above the helicopter floor. She related that the concentration to do this was very difficult, but was still able to keep her altitude. They went up to 5,000 feet where she was slowly guided out the door of the helicopter.

     Her last words were, "No salt!" followed by a surprised look. She plunged to her death as, in the excitement, no one had thought to hook up the staic line for her parachute and she was a neophyte jumper.

     Studies are now being done to see if levitationers carrying baggage can actually not affect the weight load limitations for aircraft.
