By the way, that was a pretty incredible video. I can't believe he came that close to the ground. He's flirty with disaster though. All it would have taken was a strong down burst of wind to turn that flyby into a life ending disaster.
I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. - Benjamin Franklin

I won't say what he's doing is safe, of course, but I think the close to free-fall speed he's going and very small wing area would lessen that danger a fair amount.
But yes, if he keeps that up his life expectancy will be shorted a bit.
The best and first guarantor of our neutrality and our independent existence is the defensive will of the people and the proverbial marksmanship of the Swiss shooter. Each soldier a good marksman! Each shot a hit! -Schweizerische Schuetzenzeitung (Swiss Shooting Federation) April, 1941
"Security is mostly a superstition it does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing." ~ Helen Keller
"For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth, to know the worst, and to provide for it. ~ Patrick Henry

That second video reveals how corrupt and subjective our justice system is.
Damn, they sure have tightened security up there. It would of been an easier jump in 1970 when I was last up that building to take in the view.
If that dumb security pog had killed him by his insane stunt of grabbing him, he would not have taken responsibility for his role in turning a stunt into a death.
In fact, he probably would have preferred to see this guy die then do a successful base jumpfrom that building.
"The United States today is like a cruise ship on the Niagara River upstream of the most spectacular falls in North America. A few people on board have begun to pick up a slight hiss in the background, to observe a faint haze of mist in the air or on their glasses, to note that the river current seems to be running slightly faster. But no one yet seems to have realized that it is almost too late to head for shore." -- Historian and author Chalmers Johnson"
