There is a scary hubris to the more recent video. Risking one's own neck in the pursuit of your fix is one thing. Watching the flybys of the spectators on the viewing platform and the hairpin turn, I couldn't help but think of the dude who flew through the bridge. An untoward bit of turbulence flying that close to the ground and you might very well die. I love that in Europe they are happy to let people B.A.S.E jump. They are happy to let people make choices about risky behaviors themselves.

That does but the onus of responsibility on the jumper. How long before a wingsuit flyer clips a tourist in the head? Somebody should be asking that question. You are willing to risk your own life. Are you willing to risk somebody else's?
