Yeah, but, there is that 1% chance that something terrible could happen.
Anyhow, he is wearing flaps on his feet, holding onto his gear while leaping.
I used to think I was invincible once.
Now after thousands of dollars in equipment invested, a few emergency room stints from my work, a bad hand, and a recently bad back, I am not so sure anymore.
He has some great photography for his efforts.

| I thought someone already pointed out that those were fake. Something about a ledge right below the rock. |

Well, the ledge is about 12 feet below and to me it doesn't look exactly foolproof that you couldn't just fall off that one when you hit.
I do chalk this up in the stupid category. Gives me the heebies just thinking about it.

And even at that distance (about one storey), from the position his body was hanging in he could have done some serious damage to himself and his gear.
Hell, my mother fell off the second step of a ladder and broke her back! |
