Sorry for the link to the main video! 
I was only teasing!
Here is another version someone has compiled, I'm posting it because at 3:00 in there is a scene of a guy in a winged suit doing something truly amazing... that I would never have the cajones to even consider http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GyJkUKLqbk

After watching this video, it made me realize what a boring life I am living.
Maybe so, but at least yer bones are intact.
I would settle for that
I had to help bury #13 on this list.
I get the rush of it, but when you see the pain in their parents' eyes it changes your perspective on what qualifies as fun.
That's horrible Para, I'm sorry to hear that! Unfortunately there will always be thrill seekers, I probably have qualified on several occasions in my life. I jumped off some pretty large cliffs (into water) in Hawaii, I did a jump called the Trilogy in Maui, its 3 cliff jumps in a row... I will say the adrenaline rush lasted for about 12 hours... the fear of ever doing it again has lasted a lifetime though. That pretty much cured me of jumping off things
90+ feet is a long way to fall. (and yes I screamed the whole way down)
Its just so FLUFFY!!!
With the the caveat of the reality that any of us who are taken by our own hand from seeking the adrenaline rush these things give is a heartbreak to those whose lives we touch - Every person dies; Not every person really lives.
One reason I often say my age fits me is that though it seems pedestrian stuff to what the video shows, up through my late 30's, I enjoyed para-sailing, hang gliding, free-fall sky diving and true bungee jumping. My biggest passion though was rappeling. From choppers when I could arrange it to Ausie style (face first) and quick start rappeling. A few thought I had a death wish but I did not.
There is simply no words that can accurately describe the sensation of free falling through the sky. I guess this is one reason why being home bound even at my age is like being in a prison. If I had it all to do over again, would I? Armed with the wisdom age and responsibility brings, no. Armed only with the life experiences I had to those points in life, yes I would.
Some nights when I lay in bed at night unable to sleep, as selfish as it sounds, I can recall those brief interludes of true and complete freedom and the sensation of being alive at its fullest. But that is being an "old guy" I suppose. Living in the thrills of the past while being thankful for every moment I still draw air with my loved ones near. I was both blessed and very lucky and I have no complaints.
