There's a lot of "flying" type activities that I'd be game to try. I think I'll pass on this one though. Go ahead, call me a wuss \:\)

Apparently, the death rate for this "sport" is rather on the high side. It appears that the "experts" don't last very long in this field.

Duh.

I can't even imagine...whoa!

Rico: you're like a cat, and you've used up 7 or 8 already, maybe save the last one for something real special.

Count me in to watch that sh!t all day long.

Rally drivers?
Air show pilots?
Base jumpers?
Crab fishermen?

P*ssies compared to these dudes.

Sooner or later, probably sooner, someone's gonna be posting a link to a vid of one of these dudes getting turned to a stain on a rock.

The was a documentary a while back, about a base jumper who lost his life doing that type of crazy stuff.
He was planning a fly-by past a bridge loaded with spectators. The plan was to fly past the bridge during his freefall and then open his shute.
He hit the bridge railing at 90+ mph with his legs on the way by.

I would never do that. The outfits look way too much like dresses.

Now THIS is a tough guy sport.
