"Well done" to the real deal though. Sitting on that wing must've been awesome!
 
Orsim indeed...
Now who gets the Most Fearless Man of the Day medal?
The bottom pilot, the parachutist, or the inverted fellah?

Isn't it fairly obvious? Who had to climb around on airplanes?

But if he fell, he had a parachute on. The pilots are the real daredevils!

Pilots engaging in aerobatics wear parachutes, even in gliders. It's a world standard. They were with Redbull, who's had to insure their teams' demonstrations. The insurance furthers my speculation that they are following the world standards for aerobatic flight.

I could be wrong, but I'd be very surprised if they weren't.

The video shows at least one of the pilots wearing parachutes. I still think the skydiver was in the least amount of danger out of the three.
