Extreme ultralight flying

[TangoWhiskey]

Wow, I'd feel really exposed in some of these situations... the proximity to the mountains... I'm sure they're careful to do this in no wind or light wind situations, but still:

I'm sure it's fun though!

Yeow!

They break the first rule of mountain flying: Thou shalt not fly directly at the mountain. One little thing goes wrong, and SPLAT! before ya know it. Yikes.

Most of what they do looks reasonably safe, but right at 1:32 - That's risky.

Yeah, and you gotta hope the "camera on a stick" doesn't catch the slipstream and go through the prop.

Maybe Icon Aircraft will develop a light-sport snowmobile with folding wings.
