and terrifying! I am terrified of being in a 20 story building and after that it just gets worse. No matter how much I would love to sky dive there is no way I ever could, even from one of those ladders they learn on. This is simply astonishing to me.

Every time I see his mother I cringe, how she must feel. However every time I see what he is doing I have to wonder what he has put her through to get to this point! LOL

This really is pretty cool.

And thanks for posting the video too!

I really enjoyed watching this, definitely a once-in-a-lifetime type of thing.
