When I first started this vid, I thought "OK, just another birdman vid, I've seen it before".... Well pay attention at 1:18 and keep watching the replays at various angles. FREGGIN NUTS!

Sweet. That parachute deployment looks to be a real neck breaker.

He was about 2 feet from certain death! At some point these guys are going to get crazy enough to strap wheels on their chests to try to land somehow.

Re: One of the most insane vids I have ever seen
That was a close call. I wonder how much rehersal went this? I didn't realize how fast he was going until they showed the angle from the ground.
Instant death had he touched the ground.
Thanks for sharing.

Rehearsl? Not much room for practice or error..... some unstable air or a gust of wind and you are done. That adds to it's insanity.
