The Wing Suit

The next time the wife, girlfriend, etc gives you a hard time about how dangerous kayak fishing or diving can be, show them this video before you walk out the door.

The best part of the video is towards the end.

...... how dangerous kayak fishing or diving can be......


Wow - does anyone here have a family member that harps about kayaking dangers? Sure there are risks, but compared to the crazy folks we pass at speed head-on along the highways and drive next to on the freeways - sheesh, allow us some recreation.

Now those wing suit guys and their proximity at speed to the mountain sides - that IS effing crazy! Incredible - the thermals and updrafts they caught as they came up over stuff would make me pucker!

This was on Yahoo news home page. Not a wing suit but a base jumper. Oh, those Aussies!
