Yeah, base jumpers in flying squirrel suits Jason, but it was so fast I almost didn't see them... but how close was that to disaster. Sheesh! Base jumping off Swiss Alps is a big thing here and each year quite a number buy the farm. Have you seen the Swiss guy flying along side a jet in a Super Squirrel suit with wings?
About jumping the car, there was a kid doing that on the German TV show "Wetten Das" (Want to bet?) earlier this year, he stuffed up and broke his neck and is now a tetraplegic. Tragic. I love displays of skill and body control but what risks these guy take!
@Coomba: Those red phone boxes do still survive even out in the country side, mostly not "live* any more though, I believe. Worst decision ever made by a British company, abolishing an iconic item like that... no sense of tradition or identification. Stuff globalism! National identities are worth preserving.

I am with you 100%. Like I said, I am perfectly happy watching from YT. I am all for pushing limits, but not that kind. They always look cool, but you don't often hear about the cases like you mentioned.

I guess that the lesson here is that it's a good practice to keep your tongue tucked away inside your mouth rather than between your teeth !
