2008 Red Bull Cliff Diving Championship
Colombian cliff diver Orlando Duque won the 2008 Red Bull Cliff Diving Championship that took place at the Port of Hamburg, Germany from August 19 -- 23. Following previous years when cliff diving has been featured in natural settings, this year marked a first for both Germany and an urban environment. The world's best cliff divers assembled at the top of a sailing ship, only to plunge downwards with their bodies reaching speeds of 90 kilometres per hour.

The King's pathway hike in Spain
I think this hike is more dangerous than the Plank Walk trail I did in the Hua shan mountains of China and it makes the Angels Landing hike in Zion look like a cake walk. The construction of this walkway lasted 4 years and was finished in 1905. The walkway has now gone many years without maintenance, and is in a highly deteriorated and dangerous state. After a four people died in 2000 (and several prior) the local government closed the entrances. Adventurous tourists still find their way into the walkway. I'm not the author of this video
