stanley Report post Posted January 25, 2012 Holy mother!!!! Gack!! :blink: Saw a story on one of those 'magazine' shows (I think it was 60 minutes....) about a group of guys that do that. Amazing stuff! Takes HUGE ones to even think seriously about trying it. Pretty cool though! S. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Girls Shoot Better Report post Posted January 25, 2012 That is awesome, he is pretty brave. I surely could not do that, I am too afraid of hights plus the fact that he is dropping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stanley Report post Posted January 25, 2012 Here's a write-up on the 60 Minutes story I saw a while back. CRAZY!! http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/10/09/60minutes/main5374843.shtml cbryant11, the story says they can reach speeds of 140-150 MPH! In the TV story I saw, it mentioned the fast speeds. I'm no physicist, but I'm guessing those speeds would be necessary to get the lift and control you would need out of the 'flying squirrel' suit! Nutty stuff!! S.

metau Report post Posted January 25, 2012 He broke both ankles and has a bruised knee, but is otherwise fine, not to mention lucky as heck. This was his 2nd attempt to jump off Table Mountain that week. He did not, however, have a permit to jump off the mountain and is now facing a $190 fine, but no jail time. The company that was filming him for HBO is also facing fines, and a possible expulsion from all national parks in South Africa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
