So far the most perilous thing I've done this year is help trim a cat's nails. :'(

the guy who designed and invented that suit got killed while using it.

Quote

In the mid-1990s, French skydiver Patrick de Gayardon (nicknamed "DeG") developed a wingsuit that had unparalleled safety and performance. Unfortunately, de Gayardon died on April 13, 1998 while testing a new modification to his parachute container in Hawaii; his death is attributed to a rigging error which was part of the new modification rather than a flaw in the suit's design. Despite his tragic end, de Gayardon planted the seeds for a new generation of birdmen.

Seems like the only risk from this thing is daring to get close to an object at such speeds (also suit failures, obviously). I want to do this someday, that's fucking amazing.
