Am I an arse just because after watching three awesome minutes I wanted to search for the "fail" version?

Would I do that? Yes.
Would I die doing that? Yes.

The risk-taker gene is on full display in that video. That was a rather long memorial list for those who died last year.

That said, it was absolutely beautiful. I frequently have flying dreams but those guys have the real thing.

I envy their very large balls.

When he starts to go through the natural bridge, that's when I knew that these guys are completely batshit.

The one guy came way too close to Christ the Redeemer.

Reminds me of that joke about cliff divers......


There are only two kinds of cliff divers: Grand Champion and stuff on a rock.

This should be an Olympic Sport.

I want to know how you practice this before doing this for real?

There was a video around of some guy hitting a bridge while doing that. He came down in many pieces.

They make different suits.. beginner, intermediate..etc to get you trained on how to fly in them. They start around $1000 and go up from there.

I was thinking the same thing while watching the video. I'd love to try it but there is no freaking way I'd fly as close to any structure as they were. I don't see the thrill.

I'd want to fly over water at first, I think.

So, does a beginner jump off a 1000 foot cliff instead of a 5000 foot cliff? Makes me feel better. Not.
