I heard that. Heights do not thrill me. However, I have ziplined several times, and that was a blast.

I don't really consider paragliding all that dangerous. Unless he just did something he shouldn't have been doing.

RIP


That dude was badass. The weight of his balls alone carried him back to earth after stepping out of that high altitude balloon near the stratosphere.
