Doug_Davis 0 #1 April 22, 2014 Friend sent me this on FB, thinks this is what I do. I didnt know how to explain the difference between skydiving and speed flying, nor do I have the time since I'm on a 30 day vacation right now. Thought some of you might get a kick out of this future Darwin award winner though.

This is not the first time this has been done. I have seen a video of something like it a few years ago, possibly the same place. And if I remember correct, the guy died a few months later on a skydive or BASE jump. But I'm not sure about the details Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riggerrob 643 #9 April 24, 2014 Holy risk homeostasis Batman! Now that skydiving has become boring, you need to add, proximity-flying, trees, cables, skis and landing closer to obstacles than an serious demo-jumper would plan. Next thing ... wonder why you got hurt????? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
