I admire these guys. It takes some guts to do a BASE jump.

In my mis spent youth, I made 5 parachute jumps from a Cessna. Static line jumps.
But then I got in to hang gliding and I made over 105 mountain flights. Damn that was fun! My longest flight was 3 hours 5 minutes. One time, I got 5,000 feet above Lookout Mountain.

Hang gliding is dangerous but not nearly as dangerous as BASE jumping. If this sport had been around when I was young I probably would have done it.
