Jumping off a cliff with nothing but a flimsy parachute to save me from smashing into the ground at high speed isn’t really my idea of a good time.
Jumping off a cliff that shrouded in dense fog to the point that you cannot see the ground or anything that lies in your path is my idea of Hell on Earth.
I’m not a natural sportsman, so I personally find any real exhibition of sporting prowess rather impressive. However, some are obviously more impressive than others.

Dangerous, sure. But also bags of fun for those who get it right.
