It’s not like BASE jumping isn’t cringe inducing in it’s own right: You’re cutting the safe zone of parachuting down to the slimmest margin, you’re very close to an object that could play hell with the parachute and if something screws up…well, it’s probably the only true impact that BASE jumping can have on someone. But people have been successfully jumping off of buildings, bridges and cliffs for decades now…what if someone wanted to take it further?

How about hooking the parachute to your own skin? Yes, you read that right. Someone actually hard-mounted a parachute system through their f*ing back and hopped off of a damned cliff. Using tricks learned from suspension piercing, where a bolt system is placed strategically under several sections of skin to distribute the weight of the individual, at least four people have made the jump. This individual, Wes, hopped off of a 1,460 foot cliff and was under canopy for just over two minutes, trusting his life to a few hooks in his back. There aren’t enough letters in the word “no” to properly express just what I feel about this. Not that I’m a big fan of suspension piercing anyways (“what are you gonna do, hang around here all day?”) but this…oh, man.

Any and every reaction I have I can’t print here. What’s yours?
