Man, this has got to be some of the most insane footage I have ever seen.

It makes a mockery of the standards being applied to aviation around the world. I suppose that they are not sharing airspace, and only their own a55es are on the line, but if at least some of the sentiment of the new legislation is to protect us aviators from our own stupidity, then these guys have slipped through the net.

When i was watching i can actually feel myself trying to pull away from the cliff face.
Not very nice feeling i must say.

WOW!, WOW!, WOW! What a thrilling ride that must be. By the looks of it they are pretty much on the limit when you look at their shadows taking into consideration that they have no pull-up capabilities to give them that 5 feet needed to clear a rock. Now if one of them had to have an accident would it be a base jumping, a skydiving or glider accident? :lol:

I dont think it will hurt, probably all be over so quickly he wont even feel any pain. (**)
Nothing survivable about an accident there.

Still must be an awesome rush though!
