Agree!... Personally i'd go feet first with shoes over head first in that situation too

Now that is sweet. That takes some serious gusto. Taking a smack from that high would be bad news!!!!!!

Awesome stunt. Just getting it in place was a feat within itself. The video is great too. Very well made.

Guy is a nut for sure.... He's got some crazy skiing footage, too.

Anyone figure out the rigging? It looks like two static lines, but not sure what else he used.

Sam- Would you carry a gun on a rope swing?

Sorry I just had too!!!
