Damn, that's hilarious! Yesterday I was up in the steeples of the cathedral here (some 50 metres high) and was already scared (with no rails or anything around).

I have seen these suits and guys flying in them before but nothing like this video. That was just crazy!

Who said man can't fly?

That is what I call extreme!!!

That is so unbelievable, oh my! I cannot even imagine what that must be like to feel like you can fly. I have been skydiving before but you do not feel like you can fly, you feel like you are plummeting to the earth at about 120 mph. What I cannot believe is that these guys are good enough to not hit the ground, like when the one guy flys past the road. They have no lift at all so they are always falling and in this case of always falling one has to be careful of the terrain not having any higher elevation along its gradual slopes. CRAZY!!!

So how do they stop?

I went in a wind tunnel once and it was great, but it almost pulled my arms out of their sockets (I have rather weak shoulder sockets). I'm pretty sure that trying to fly like that would actually pull my arms clean off!
Sure looks like fun though.

Have you seen the movie Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon? They move really gracefully like that with special effects. It would be amazing to make an action film with those base jumpers. But I think the insurance would be probably be very expensive!

Susan, You ask really funny questions at times! Did you not notice the parachute on their back? They just pull the rip cord when they get down to a certain level and have
a gentle landing if they are lucky.These guys are nuts! Just one good gust of wind and they would find themselves splattered all over those cliffs ..... ouch!
