A sport that may be more intense then BASE jumping (Land Diving)

[WI-Fly 0]

Did anyone see that show on the either the Travel Channel or Discovery where these tribal people climb up a huge wooden tower they built and jump off it with just vines. It is called Land Diving. It is kind of like rope jumping except they don't really swing as much and some HIT the ground. I thought before they would get with in maybe 10 feet but the guy hits the ground head first and then is dragged a little back towards the tower. I don't know how you can survie that. The vines look like your legs would be ripped out and I thought he would have snapped his neck.

dan osmon was the carl boenish of rope jumping. super bad ass dude, "on the shoulders of giants" we are to him, but he went to far to fast.
