1. That looks like the opening scene from a James Bond movie. (Cue music by John Barry, accompanied by a credit sequence by Maurice Binder.)

   1. Nobody ‘does it better’ than Her Majesty The Queen!

2. Cool. How did they practice?

   1. Notice that they’re wearing parachutes 🙂

3. neat stunt. it could put them in the running for the Darwin awards some day.

   1. My thoughts exactly.

   2. It has put them in the running, they just didn’t win this time.
      I would try it at home, with the target safely stationary in my yard and me starting on the lawn beside it. Don’t try it in flight.

   3. I was thinking the same thing.

      Definitely not for me.

4. That was awesome. Holy cow!

5. I find this sport fascinating…highly visual…but…but…every time I watch a documentary on this sport there’s always an homage to several fallen comrades. Pray your children never take up this sport.

6. What is this sport called?
   .

   1. suicide!

   2. Russian Roulette

   3. Splat.

7. Lots of camera angles. How did they film that?

8. Hmm, too bad those of us banned from Twat-er canot see that video…

9. Why is it that I have only seen white men do this? There definitely is a “danger” gene which I do not have.

10. anybody see this when it came out?
    iirc it was a Cdn production:

11. It looks like a heck of a way to avoid airport security when boarding an aircraft…

12. That takes an incredible amount of skill for all involved.

    WOW!

13. my cousin did this sport. he is now dead!

14. I saw this video a while back. Keep it in perspective: In today’s news, a w.hite 70s man was pushed off a bus in Eng. by a b,lack woman who had been verbally abusing other passengers. All he had said was be nicer to the other passengers. He struck his head and is dead. That video is online also.
    Better to die doing something that is thrilling.

15. james bond, call your office

16. They don’t show that afterwards the aircraft crashed on landing:
