Not really survival, maybe more death wish, but surely outdoors! I think this may have been posted before but it's so incredible I had to post it again now:

This may be the closest man gets to flying like superman.

Who wants to go? I do! :D
 
I've jumped from many planes and helicopters...but this type of base jumping always scared me too much. I want nothing but air up...down...and all around. A free fall with rock just feet from me just isn't my cup of tea. More power to guys like this though...fun to watch.
 
I've watched that a few times before but it was no less impressive this time around. As for wanting to go. . . No thanks. I'll watch from the road.
 
There is absolutely nothing in the world.......that will prevent me from doing this at some point! :D
Serriously, I might just have found a new hobby.
 
wow³

"Incredible" is an understatement, both the scenery and the stunt! :eek: Thanks for posting this one.
 
Bold means doing something untested and stupid doesn't it? :D And doing it repeatedly enough to let chance take over and kill you...
 
That is definitely something I won't be trying soon. Very cool to watch though.
I can imagine a lot of scenarios where special ops types could use this. I on the other hand will happily hike down thank you very much.
 
Oh, and BTW, this video ranks up there in the top 3 of amazing things I've seen on Youtube, with the 4-legged pack beast machine, and the eagle flying off with goats. Just magnificent footage...
 
Yeah, someone is gonna lose an arm by skimming the cliff to closely. Look out -- no more aerodynamic airfoil shape to rely on for lift! :D

Actually, has anyone seen footage of how you land in one of those things? Like a conventional chute? Or do you just skid to a smeary halt?

Don't forget the LEGO automatic weapon.
