Flying inches from a cliff edge

This is the very definition of hair-raising. These guys jump off a cliff wearing a wing-suit - a jumpsuit with nylon flaps which act as mini wings - allowing the jumper to 'fly' and steer as they fall towards earth. These jumpers enjoy skimming the cliffs and trees as they descend into the valleys below. They are just mad!

Watch carefully in the first ten seconds. You will see spectators watching from a roadside, half way up the valley. They whoop with delight as a jumper flashes past at over 100mph, just a few metres away from the cliff edge. If you want to watch the full screen version, click here for the video on Youtube.
