Well, when they were throwing branches over it took roughly 3 seconds to hit the ground.. So somewhere in the 130 ft range at that point. And that was quite a ways into the video, so possibly quite a bit higher at other points in the video.
 
Seen a bunch of videos from them. Cool stuff. Good song too, awolnation.
 
I thought the guy was going to base jump after the thing.
 
No fan of heights either but fun to watch.

Holy crap, you'd think Boris and Natasha were after him. I expected his friend to have antlers and William Conrad announcing the exciting conclusion to last week's episode.
 
Another crazy you tube video with AWOLNATION 1:40 mark is ridiculous badass.

THAT WAS AWESOME! I want to fly too. I could so do that...with some training I suppose.
 
I'm going with three cords of good wood. :p

BTW, I can't believe he was throwing those down there. Australia must not have OSHA.

I'm hoping they had the area blocked off. What I'm wondering is how far into the ground it pierced on landing.
 
I was just reading the ACE tree removal service website and watching more vids. 70Meter crane is 229 feet in the air! WOW that is some huge equipment!

Some of that can't be real...

That guy is lucky to be alive. I watched another video of him jumping earlier today that showed him crashing. Got lucky and only took the skin off to the bone on his leg.
 
That was nut numbing. I strongly dislike heights.

Oh, then you'll love this.

Very real. If you want to watch some vids of folks that take it up a level or two check out the Norwegian base flyers....now those folks really are nuts.

The way they do it it's definitely a no mistake game.
