Pure. Frickin. Insanity. Here's Dan Osman free-scaling a 400-foot sheer wall "Lover's Leap" cliff in just 4 minutes, 25 seconds.
[/p] Yes, this is an old clip. The daredevil died in 1998, when something went wrong while he was performing a "controlled free-falling" (free-falling off a cliff, while relying on a safety rope).[/p][a href="vny!://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsfKrZrgPxs"][/a]

The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

TehBorken you are hooking it up this morning! That was off the hook!
My toes are still trying to uncurl from that leap.
 
...religion has made some contributions to civilization. It helped in the early days to fix the calendar, and it caused Egyptian priests to chronicle ecplipses with such care that in time they were able to predict them. These two services I am prepared to acknowledge, but I do not know of any others

 Lol, I often hear that said about people who died young through some sort of misadventure. He lived life to the fullest, right up until he fell/drowned/skidded/got squished/eaten....
