Highlining + BASE jumping = BASElining

Apparently the extra weight of the 10 lb chute makes it really awkward to balance. Look at how terrified he is when he falls and grabs the line, even though he has a chute. That surprised me since he's done some crazy stuff before, like highlining at Yosemite without a tether:

There's also an accompanying article (might have to register): http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/14/sport ... ref=slogin

I've had the same recurring dream as him of falling to my death but then somehow flying away at the last second.

Jumping off of a perfectly good tight rope!
