BASE jumping - that is, parachuting off fixed objects like towers and large cliffs, has undergone a paradigm shift in the last decade, with the introduction of “flying suits” modeled after the skin-flaps of flying squirrels. Amazingly, when one gets falling at around one hundred miles an hour, one suddenly becomes very maneuverable.Actually, I would not watch this while consuming liquids; you might spray your keyboard.
Grab a stiff drink and see what the Cool Kids do on their days off.
Be seated and in a calm space before watching this video, gang. It is just amazing.

"Stomach in throat," LOL!
No. way. in. hell.
Hey there, Bysi-Bud, glad to see someone picked this up!
I have a long and sordid history of climbing up that stuff, but jumping off of it... well, that's just nuts! LOL
It's awfully cool to watch, though!
