    tool bag catches one step pulls you off, game over, only plus, you wouldn't feel a thing, takes some bloody big bollocks to do that though.

    Fuck that without a parachute on your back. Seriously, I can't believe they actually do that - and I'm an adrenaline junkie!

    you couldnt pay me enough to do that free climbing shit. Doesnt matter how much money you make by getting to the top quicker if you make 1 slip and end up as a splat on the floor.

    Why dont they use wing suits with shoots? Do your job.. Jump off and sail clear before pulling the parachute. Would save climbing back down.

    That's the most ridiculous thing iv ever seen. Absolutely mind blowing that people do that. Id like to think he'd be getting paid well.

    How the hell would they climb with a wing suit and parachute pack? :wack:

    I love that video because it shows how weak the human mind can be. I am scared of heights, and I watch that with my heart racing, thinking there's no way I would do that job in a million years, but what I mean is, do you think the end result of a standard scaffolder falling from 50 feet is any different to these guys falling from 17,000 feet (apart from the slightly longer time to contemplate your life's achievements on the way down :D). I reckon I'd be able to learn to deal with being a scaffolder, but that! No thanks :wack:

    spot on

    when i was a paratrooper people used to always ask about how scary parachuting is and assumed the higher it is the scarier. doesnt work that way! the art of heights is as youve said, once you get over a certain height, your just as fucked if you fall. actually the opposite with parachuting, the higher you are the more time you have to deal with things if anything goes wrong


    same with speed. if your going to drive at 120mph might as well make it 180mph. the outcome will be the same if you bin it!
