A friend recently sent me a link to this video that I found to be absolutely fascinating. It's footage of some wingsuited base jumpers doing their thing somewhere in China. It's apparently some sort of Red Bull stunt. They wear suits that have webbing between their outstretched arms and their bodies and in between their legs that in effect make them human flying wings. The first minute has footage of life in a big Chinese city....nothing to do with the theme of the video, but still interesting....then moves on to a tourist attraction somewhere in mountainous China. It's definitely worth watching.
I can only imagine the size of the cajones of the first guy who tried this. Or maybe it was a woman. Hmmmm....
