Awesome stunt Gilders and Parachutist
 
Think I need to back back down the airfield for some practise.

Looks like fun for the jumper. but I would never trust a plane without an engine.

I have done both, with and without engines. without is far better and more fun. + a challenge. I would love to have the skill to fly that close. Also jumping, thats next on my to do list.

jumping is the easy part, landing is what can hurt. Especially when there are old WWII slit trenches where gravity and the wind are taking you.

Im sure it is but many people do it. But on that basis you wouldn't leave bed, for fear of getting hurt lol. I just add it to my list of fun hobbies and take it as it comes :)

Well done to all involved, especially the pilots. If it had gone wrong for the jumper, he has his chute, if the gliders had collided however, much more dangerous scenario.
