You might be interested in this:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/hansvan...7594222213140/ I do warn anyone of a sensitive disposition to avoid the link. I suffer from vertigo, and it makes me feel very ill at ease just looking at the last few pictures. NB: I changed the link as the original one was using the pictures without permission.

What you don't see is that this isn't quite as death defying as it first appears. There is a ledge between the two rock outcrops just below the bottom of the frame. Well its about a 10-15ft drop so he risks a broken leg but not much more.

I suspect that this is a fake. Either the situation is not as it appears or someone has been very creative. Looking at the pictures it appears that he must jump up to reach the cliff. If he can really do this then he is of Olympic calibre.
Of course, we don't know if his jump was successful! |

Yes, it was not quite as dangerous as the photo suggests. (What, a photo lie? Never!) Still, a ~7m fall onto a rocky ledge is dangerous. And the ledge was narrow. Had he rolled off the ledge, or stumbled, he would have gone to the big darkroom in the sky. Whatever the exact truth, the jumper is a certified loony, and long overdue for a Darwin Award.

This question brings me back to my own theory of "Its about the photographer not camera" in this case photography per se. A high risk person remains so in whatever he or she indulges. Lets hope they are not our pilot in next oversea flight....
