Number 5. Cave diving
It is underwater diving in water-filled caves. The equipment used varies depending on the
circumstances and ranges from breath-hold to surface-supplied, but almost all cave diving
is done using scuba equipment. Despite all risks, water-filled caves attract scuba divers,
cavers, and speleologists due to their often unexplored nature and present divers with a
technical diving challenge. Underwater caves have a wide range of physical features and
can contain fauna not found elsewhere.
Number 4. Street luging
Street luge is an extreme gravity-powered activity that involves riding a street luge board down a
paved road or course. Street luge is also known as land luge or road luge. Like skateboarding,
street luge is often done for sport and for recreation. Street luge was born in Southern
California as downhill skateboarders found they could reach faster speeds by lying down
on their skateboards. This early form of the sport is now referred to as lay-down skateboarding.
Mike McIntyre set a world speed record in 2010. He went 164.12 km per hour,
or 101.98 mph at l'ultime descent.
Number 3. Free solo climbing
Free solo climbing, or free soloing, is a form of technical ice or rock climbing where the climbers
climb alone without ropes, harnesses, or other protective equipment, forcing them to rely entirely
on their own individual preparation, strength, and skill. Free soloing is the most dangerous
form of climbing and, unlike bouldering, free soloists climb above safe heights,
where a fall can very likely be fatal. Though many climbers have attempted free soloing,
it is considered a niche of a niche reserved for the sports elite, which has led many
practitioners to stardom within both the media and the sport of rock climbing.
Number 2. Base jumping
Base jumping is the recreational sport of jumping from fixed objects, using a parachute to descend
safely to the ground. BASE is an acronym that stands for four categories of fixed objects from
buildings, antenna, spans, or bridges, and earth, or cliffs. Participants exit from a fixed object,
such as a cliff, and after an optional freefall delay, deploy a parachute to slow their descent
and land. In contrast to other forms of parachuting, such as skydiving from airplanes,
base jumps are performed from fixed objects which are generally at much lower altitudes,
and base jumpers only carry one parachute. Base jumping is significantly more hazardous
than other forms of parachuting, and is widely considered to be one of the most
dangerous extreme sports. And finally, number 1. Wingsuit
Wingsuit flying is the sport of skydiving using a webbing sleeve jumpsuit called a wingsuit.
The modern wingsuit, first developed in the late 1990s, uses a pair of fabric membranes stretched
flat between the arms and flanks or thighs to imitate an airfoil, and often also between the
legs to function as a tail and allow some aerial steering. The participant leaps either from a
base or a helicopter and then freefalls to their heart's content before deploying a parachute prior
to landing. Subscribe to the FACTU channel and watch more interesting videos.
