....Holy CRAP!

Has anyone else followed this "Sport? I've been aware of Wingsuit Flying (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wingsuit_flying) for about 5yrs and I've never seen anything like it... It's been named "The most dangerous sport in the world". The goal is to jump off a mountain, fly as close to it as you can, and parachute to land.

So how many of you would be willing to try this? Or has anyone done something similar, e.g, Bass jumping or skydiving?

Boyfriend made me watch a documentary about that. I'm terrified of heights so its not for me personally

Did you watch the first video? It's the most terrifying thing i've ever seen. I actually have recurring nightmares where i'm plummeting thousands of feet to the ground... Don't know why I have those b/c i'm not scared of heights..

But doing this is definitely on my bucket list ;)

This is one of the things I want to try before I die.

I'd try it.

Probably once.

Because I'd die.

To anyone who says this is on their bucket list: Make it the last thing. Just to be safe. :p

I'll do this at the age of 90, on the same day that I try the last few drugs I still haven't dared trying.
