As stunts go, paragliding close to the ground with skis on (often called speed riding or speed flying) is up there among the most insane. But add a chairlift cable to slide on… and, well, we could hardly watch. The translated French from the skier, Valentin Delluc, reads, “Only after thousands and thousands of hours of practice I could envisage making this slide.” In the “don’t try this at home” category the feat in this video ranks near the top. —Stephen Regenold
