Skydiver hitches a lift - 6,000ft up:
via
An Austrian skydiver pulled off a breathtaking stunt when he somersaulted from the wing of one glider to another - 6,000ft above the ground at 100 mph.Check it out:
First, Paul Steiner crawled from the cockpit of one glider above the Austrian Alps, then he flipped himself under the wing to land on the second aircraft flying below.
He then walked back to the main body of the plane and reached up to grab the second glider on the tail fin that by this time was flying upside down - forming a living bridge between the two planes.

I watched this with the sound muted, prepared to be impressed. Yes, it was a tricky manoeuvre, particularly by the glider pilots. But the guy on the outside, well, he had a parachute so what was the risk. Pretty pointless.
