Proximity Flying

Watched a doc on channel 4 last night called Daredevils:The Human Bird.
It was about a guy called Jeb Corliss who, along with other base jumpers, has started using wing suits to "fly" as close to the scenery as possible without becoming a patch of ketchup on the mountainside.

There's a link to 4OD in the title. If you can't get that there are torrents of it.
Well worth a watch!

And here's another vid of similar nutters...

  3. Next dose of daredevilism:
    In sub zero temperatures 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle, Dutch Daredevil Wim Hof (The Ice Man) attempts to run a full 26-mile marathon clad only in shorts and a pair of sandals.
