Add to that the quite unpredictable temperature and wind turbulence in the mountains.
I have read up on this "hobby" quite a bit. It looks like there are mountains that are relatively safe to jump, while others are more hairy, with the ground coming a lot closer, leaving little to no room for error. This sport is of course full of young guys dripping testosterone, so jumping off an easy mountain or just an airplane isn't going to cut it.
If I'd do anything close, it would be hang gliding. For now I am working towards one day getting a pilots license. I like the help of combustion engines.
