Pepper's Nassau approach in my previous post is nice, smooth, and low-risk. That's absolutely fine - our passengers expect that, and that's what we deliver. Some other folks like to amp up the difficulty level a little bit when they are airborne, and that can be fun to watch too...
This is the Red Bull air team pulling off a truly spectacular / insane stunt in Styria, Austria. I only drink regular Red Bull, I'm guessing these folks must drink the bootleg, distilled, overproof version :)
You don't need to be bilingual to appreciate this, trust me - you'll get the idea about what they are attempting pretty quickly through the video.
More info here, as well as some amazing pics.

That's a good one. I've seen others where the wingwalker gets out of a Blanik, but never glider - glider.
Did you see this one from last year? It amps up the free fall with a wing suit, which is apparently always good for the adrenaline.

I breathed a sigh of relief when it became clear he wasn't also going to try to transfer to the chopper around 1:55
It's interesting they use gliders- I think they are much more a part of the culture in Europe.
