unbelievable!!
God is the only reason I still live today heh.
I used to be very heavy into mountaineering, hang gliding, ice climbing, rock climbing, scuba diving, the list goes on. It wasn’t enough to just do those things, we went very extreme.
I must of gave the guardian angels so many headaches.
There’s things now though that make the things I did look tame. That body gliding for example, there’s no room for error, our bodies are still susceptible to tremendous damage when subjected to high speed and stationary objects.
I think I’ll stick with my long range shooting and general hiking and horses heh.
Thanks for posting. Nothing like starting your day off with something beautiful.

While everything you said is true, this didn’t help either.
“An aeromedical physician formerly with the National Transportation Safety Board says that on the day former baseball pitcher Roy Halladay died in a plane crash, he had a toxic dose of amphetamines in his system.”
“I suspect (just for instance) that he didn’t undo the beach girl’s bikini top the first time he tried.”
It can sometimes take years to make that happen.
If you are going to pull the moves Roy Halladay did, you need to be:
A) Very Good/Experienced
B) Flying in optimal conditions
C) Unimpaired
Failing in any one of these can kill you. Failing in all three is much, much worse.
I just read that the safety pin in Halladay’s BRS chute was in place when recovered from the wreckage. He did not remove the pin before flight, so he did not have this safety system available.
This, in addition to all of the other erratic behavior, is shocking.
All fun and games until you break every bone in your body.
Implying that gravity is over rated is being arrogant.
Dont believe me? Ask the idiot clinging to the bottom of the Statue of Liberty’s torch handle.
If you wanna see some guys doing safe but fun to watch stunts look up the You Tube channel Dude Perfect.
Ditto - THOROUGHLY enjoyable!
Cannot imagine how many takes they did to do all this.....hundreds if not more.....

Hmmm, maybe "prepared" should be added to the list. Or maybe that counts as "experience".
