Pure madness. I saw another video of the same sport over a snowy mountain range somewhere, they had a mounted* camera that they raced past showing how fast they actually go - incredible speeds, something approaching (or past, perhaps) 200km/h. Simply staggering stuff.

I'd like to try that... but I'm pretty sure my wife would object strongly - she's strangely fond of me.
When I wanted to try hang-gliding she collected newspaper clippings of the accidents for me.

Thanks for the link Borat.
That was ******* berzerk! I have done Bungee jumping a couple of times, and I will never forget the feeling of the sudden acceleration at the beginning of the natural fall. That was a very strange sensation for my body, and perhaps a fraction of the exhiliration those crazy buggers must feel.

I'd love to have a crack. I've done Bungey, Parachuting, Hang gliding, white Water rafting, Scuba, raced on a sidecar outfit in Enduro's.
Bring it on !! What a buzz !!

That was amazing!
I always thought Lawn Bowls was the extremest of sport - after all, it is the only one which details what to do if a player dies during a match in its bylaws :wink:
Cheers
