Rupert skydives without a parachute

News Corp impresario Rupert Murdoch has returned to Twitter two days after his now infamous line about his papers catching the “bloody end” of the Sydney siege, and this time it’s good clean family fun…sort of.

Murdoch tweeted a picture of himself doing indoor skydiving, basically dressing up in a jumpsuit and getting blown around by a massive fan, with the caption: “Family fun over Australia’s Blue Mountains… Sort of!”

Fortunately the 83-year-old would have known the activity was, just about, age appropriate from the webpage of the iFly facility in Penrith, which states: “Whether you’re 3 or 103, it offers the most exhilarating, involving and rewarding experience imaginable.”

It’s fair to say the twitterati are once again polarised by Rupert’s tweets.
