Birdmen men don wing-suits, jump off mountaintops and glide down at speeds approaching 140 miles per hour. Steve Kroft reports 60 minutes... http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=6027416n Any one shoot this?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I saw something similar a few months ago, so I was hesitant to click on this, but I'm glad I did. I remember hearing about the one guy who died in a wing-suit crash. This video gave me a small glimpse into who he was. In the previous video that I watched, a European man was getting dangerously close to the rocks (mountain sides). If memory serves me correctly, he could have reached out and touched the mountain side. Yikes! I haven 't shot this, but it looks like fun.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Sitren, Photographer Palm Springs | CA | USA | Posted: 9:27 PM on 12.31.09 ->> Yes I saw that on 60 Minutes and had seen it previously, it was a re-run. Absolutely amazing!! I would shoot it, from a stationary secure position or from an aircraft. But actually do it, whoa! That even escapes me and there are a lot of things I would do even at my advanced age. But I am totally in awe and envious of it and the very very few people in the world who do it.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
