Base Jumping

I have always thought that these guys/girls were lunatics.
But now they make it worse by using 'flying suits' to get even closer.
That would be just brown adrenalin to me

I sure looks like fun but as much as i`d love to try it you`d have to push me of that cliff i think.

I watched a prog on C4 or C5 about base jumpers, this guy Jeb Corliss and his mate had these squirel suits & done some amazing stuff, but when it goes wrong, it goes wrong.

There was a gut on TV the other day who jumped out of a plane wearing just red shorts and NO chute

He had to join with a mate in the air.

Mind you with base jumping if the chute fails the ground won't take to long to arrive.

Being able to fly like that must be amazing!

Would I do it? .....No Way! I'd be way too scared to even be next to that big drop.
