Gotta hand it to Laso Schaller on this one. Probably the first thing one notices on viewing a fall of 58.8 meters (or about 192 feet) is how goddamn fast it goes. It's a stark reminder that gravity is your daddy and at any point you could fall off papa's lap. For another crazy POV there's this mountain biker's adrenaline-charged ride.
This very short POV video shows the full set of emotions; the fear, pain and loss of being the I in Pixar at the beginning of any Pixar film. It must be a sad, horrible life. You know that lamp is coming, and it wants what you have. And you're just a letter so you can't do anything about it.
The camera-wielding hiker fell 8 meters, but luckily no one in their party reported any serious injuries.
Technology is supposed to make life easier, and in this case, it only made things worse.
A TV show in Norway called “Golden Goal” strapped headsets onto some soccer players so that they could only see a bird’s-eye-view of the field.
And the result is absolutely hilarious.
It’s not exactly the most exciting game in the world, but watching them try to navigate around and connect with the ball is pretty entertaining.
The players stick their arms out like a horde of zombies and hobble around just as slow.
At one point the goalie just lays down to make it easier to block any shots, which was the smartest thing he could have done.
Way to use your braaaaaaains…
Talk about a bird’s eye view.
Darshan the white-tailed eagle made history on Saturday breaking the world record for the highest bird flight off a man-made structure.
A group called the Freedom Conservation strapped a Sony ActionCam Mini him and captured his 2,722-foot descent off the Burj Khalifa in Dubai to help raise awareness about the endangered species.
The charity works in partnership with both SOS (Save our Species) and UNESCO, and the stunt was also broadcast live on BBC News.
“I’m really proud of the bird,” his trainer, Jacques-Olivier Travers told Khaleej Times. “Today was really perfect. I really think that anyone who saw these shots will never think of eagles again in the same way.”
This wasn’t the first time Darshan has soared off a tall building. He’s also flown from the Eiffel Tower in Paris and St Paul’s Cathedral in London.
