Wingsuit Basejumping.

[MrSix]

This looks like such good fun.

Take one base jumper, cross him with a flying squirrel, add a handful of mountains and a sprinkling of insanity and admire the creation which involves "Falling with style" (spot the toy story reference), across miles of countryside looking like evil knievel.
Here's a video:

I prefer this one. When he's coming in low over the snow is pretty crazy.

iirc, some one tried to cross the english channel with one of them, or a modified one.

I'm probably too scared, but I still want a go!

Hmm there was someone who died about a year ago IIRC..



He was trying to fly over a bridge using one of these, but he went too low and struck a railing killing him instantly.


The video of it is horrific. You don't actually see anything but the noise is HORRIBLE.



Very Dangerous but also very addicive i should imagine

That is un-be-bleeding-lievable.....

It looks like he's actually flying over the snow...

Ah yes I know that video well

I knew one of the skiiers that waved to him (part of the big party) - that is truly awesome. I wish I could upload all my skydiving vids - but I have far far far too much.

This stuff rocks

A sport for people on day release if you ask me!

Like an earlier poster I'd like a go but I'd be way too scared.
