I was forced to grant a temporary extension on PointNiner's first Death Wish Weekend after Tom sent me this. Paul Steiner, a 45 year old Austrian man, gets his crazy on with this incredible aerial stunt. According to the Red Bull website, Steiner based the stunt off the 007 motto, "You Only Live Twice" (somewhat appropriate for this theme). At nearly 6,000 feet Steiner exits the cockpit of his Red Bull sailplane then proceeds to climb onto the wing as the aircraft begins a roll over. As it continues over, Steiner keeps moving until he is mounted on the underside of the fuselage while the aircraft is upside down. All this before jumping off the plane and sky diving down to the ground. Why am I explaining it detail by detail when you can just watch it below?
Now if Steiner could combine this act with the one from the guy who leaps from plane to plane, that would be an act I would pay to see. I wonder what their life insurance premiums are like?
