Steph Davis: So there was no reason to think that one of the most experienced practitioners of the extreme sport of BASE jumping where participants free-fall from fixed objects such as buildings, antennas, spans or bridges and natural rock formations was putting his life in greater danger than usual when he launched himself last Sunday from a 1,000-metre peak in the Dolomites, an area of the Italian Alps near the Austrian border, according to The Star. His wife of nearly two years, professional American mountain climber Steph Davis, had gone first, jumping from the precipice in her matching pink suit, flying for a few heart-stopping seconds before deploying her parachute and safely floating to the ground below and MONTREAL Mario Richard had jumped off of bridges in China, buildings in Montreal and mountain formations across the U.S. and Europe, and from airplanes the world over. Richard, a 47-year-old Quebec City-native, was draped in a black nylon suit that, when he stretched out his arms and legs, revealed webbing that gave him the wings and tail of a bird, the appearance of flying squirrel and the sensation of flight.
