Thanks for posting this... have watched it about 30 times so far, really awesome video. I've been watching it every time I have some writing to do, it gets me really pumped up.
There's an interesting interview with him here:
Trigg.la – The Experts Ep. 10 – Defying Death
He has great attitude imo - that we're all going to die at some point anyway, so we may as well spend the time we have doing things we really enjoy, never mind if they're scary. Sort of obvious, but most people don't follow it. Seems like quite a humble guy, too.
I don't see myself taking up BASE jumping any time soon (with a 5% fatality rate and a 95% chance of spending time in hospital during your 'career', it's not exactly fair if you have kids), but after watching him I've reconsidered my position on skydiving & paragliding... it actually looks like a very high fun to danger ratio.
