Not sure if anyone else was following this but a british stuntman has just made aviation history by becoming the first skydiver to land safely without the use of a parachute.
He jumped out of a helicopter and using a wingsuit he "glided" down to land in a pile of cardboard boxes.

Totally crazy in my mind but hats off to the guy. :crazy:

He shoots through this small gap in the trees at an unreal speed (about 1:15 in)... there is a ground view replay after that that is sick.

From Wikipedia:

Do it if you dare
Leaping from the sky
Hurling thru the air
Exhilarating high
See the earth below
Soon to make a crater
Blue sky, black death
I'm off to meet my maker
Energy of the gods, adrenalin surge
Won't stop til I hit the ground, I'm on my way for sure
Up here in the air, this will never hurt
I'm on my way to impact, taste the high speed dirt
Paralyzed with fear
Feel velocity gain
Entering a near
Catatonic state
Pressure of the sound
Roaring thru my head
Crash into the ground
Damned if I'll be dead
Energy of the gods, adrenalin surge
Won't stop til I hit the ground, I'm on my way for sure
Up here in the air, this will never hurt
I'm on my way to impact, taste the high speed dirt
Jump or die!
Solo - Dave
Solo - Marty
Dropping all my weight
Going down full throttle
The pale horse awaits
Like a genie in a bottle
Fire in my veins
Faster as I go
I forgot my name
I'm a dirt torpedo
Solo - Marty
High speed dirt...
The lyrics are perfect this sort of adrenalin RUSH! To the poster of the jump video where he clips the cliff....
OOUUCCHH!
One day I'm going to do a tandem jump.
Peace
