Unbelievable. This guy has big brass ones. Dave
:good2:
I used to follow a guy on youtube that did this type of stuff. He was fantastic dam shame he is now a quadriplegic. A short video like this can take months to film as each stunt is done one at a time. Good stuff.

I quit before the end, saw myself going over the edge.... We need a "Major Pucker Emoticon"... You know the lump 'O coal turns into a Diamond in a single moment... :shok:
Amazing control, and nerves of steel. Gives me the shivers looking over the edge of the buildings, though not as much as those daredevil climbers who hang off cranes and things 1000 feet up. That stuff gives me nightmares lol.

Not sure how high you have to be for a falling human body to attain "teminal velocity". (terminal can be defined 2 ways here :-)
It certainly would be much less than 1,000 ft. So, 60ft or 10,000 ft the end result is the same, you just have more time to accept your fate with the higher start point.
Maybe someone with these figures close to hand can tell us.
Also interested in the increase of deaths and injuries sustained by all the attempts to create new and amazing feats of daring by those using Go-Pro (and similar) "action cameras" intending to post them to YouTube or Vimeo or DailyMotion or ......
