1. Skydiving
https://vimeo.com/22428395 Skydiving is cool enough anyway, but slow it right down and it looks like humans have straight up mastered flight. Full-speed skydiving is a pretty high-octane experience, with the average skydiver reaching speeds of around 55 metres per second. This slow-mo footage, however, makes it look as though the divers are simply floating off into orbit. Check out this video of slow-mo base-jumping in which the adrenaline junkies appear look like astronauts moving in zero gravity (as opposed to screaming towards the ground at high speed). https://vimeo.com/29017795
