BASE jumping off Baffin Island


We've looked at BASE jumping and wingsuit flying on several previous occasions.  Here's an older video clip that I've only just discovered, showing two adventurous types jumping off the cliffs of Baffin Island in northern Canada, above the Arctic Circle.




I've said it before, and I'll say it again:  you couldn't pay me enough to get me to do that, let alone do it voluntarily!

Incredible. Maybe this is impolite, but is there an age bracket to which this sport belongs? But, then climbing Everest should be included. There is something unique about being willing to risk smashing your body, while conscious, against frozen crags, that seems so wasteful. But then, that's just me.

Wild stuff, and incredible confidence in the gear - not for me.
