How Nutz do you have to be

That road buzz at about 3:27 is absolutely insane. Miscalculate that even a tiny bit and you'll end up short of the ledge..which would be *not good*.
 
They're excellent gliders and well practiced but, a few of their flock have permanently exceeded their capabilities, one into the top of a steel bridge and another one that didn't glide out of a rocky side canyon they were seeing how far they could bank in and out of...
 
Flying that close to the cliff wall just crosses the "risk management" line for me. Do that enough, and it's just a matter of time before you become graffiti.

I'm not getting any video to show up on either computer. The page is blank.

Edit: I can get it to show with Vista at work but not on two XP boxes at home. What gives?

As Gorden Baxter said "Those boys are crazy as bessie bugs!" I'm not sure what a bessie bug is, but they are crazy. Although I have a 16 yo son who'd probably think it was cool!
 
When you get right down to it, there are a lot of stupid people out there. Many of them are involved in aviation in one way or another. Its just smart to stay a good distance from them when they expire.
 
How Nutz do you have to be? INSANE Nutz!

So Harry..... how close to the cliff would you fly?:frown2:

It's all nuts to me. Of course my physique carries considerable extra load, so I may exceed the mgw for those suits anyway.....

A better title for this video may be "What userfees drove otherwise sane European pilots to."
