• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Jump!

Some truly amazing jumps in there....some amazingly stupid ones too! There were a couple where death was a micro second away.

The base jump/glide video is amazing. Those guys come close enough to touch the rocks and bushes, but it's extremely risky. I saw a video on youtube of one of these guys attempting to do a "fly-by" of a bridge....unfortunately he collided with the bridge, immediately severing both legs and instantly killing him.
 
On that space jump, I wonder if the astronaught was ill from the high altitude and then the jump and pressure change from high atmosphere to ground in only 15 min's?

Can you get the bends from something like that?
