Woah, this is sick! It's like it takes from everything i think's cool. Bit of matrix, bit of mirror's edge/parkour, bit of jumper (the film), bit of that weird box video, made me think a little bit of jason bourne, oh and bewbs.

@TheFreak, @Deano, @Hive13:

Technically, there is no place in the universe where one is not affected by gravity. The astronauts on board the International Space Station are also pulled towards the Earth with a force almost as strong as the one we feel here on the ground. What we usually mean when we say "Zero G" is rather "Free Fall" which is what these base jumpers experience to some degree in the same manner as the astronauts, at least at the start before they reach terminal velocity. Although if you want to be pedantic, "weightlessness" is a better term than zero gravity.

@Lawdeedaw, I'm confused, this video doesn't match the title. It's also very nearly a dupe of this: http://videosift.com/video/Audience-at-GOP-Debate-Cheers-Letting-
Sick-Man-Die


One big difference that makes a world of difference between the two videos--Ron Paul's compassion, his examples that he provided charity healthcare and never turned away the needy, and that the community must have this in order to succeed (Which is implied by his position.)

@Boise_Lib video kind of makes it seem like RP is an indifferent bastard and agreeing with the crowd. This is not the case even if you disagree with his position.

The crowd is just a bunch of bandwagon jumpers with little self thought.

On the other point, it was Perry's comments, linked with the description, that earned the title. I can change it if others think it doesn't fit.

It's in the media's interest to ignore the explanation if they can keep people interested. As long as people keep thinking it's a killer or something sinister, they will tune in. I think it is pretty clear that the shoes are from jumpers.>> ^bareboards2:

They are at 11 feet as of August 2011. And still no answers. None of this was mentioned at the time of the latest foot found. http://videosift.com/video/Another-Foot-Found-On-Northwest-Coast

People keep making a big deal out of this, but I think it has been explained sufficiently.

The show "Weird or What" had a segment about it. One guy dropped a bunch of shoes in the water and tracked them by GPS and mapped where they ended up. He found that a number of the found feet probably originated at the Alex Fraser bridge. "It appears that the river, not the ocean, is the likely source of the shoes."

Looks like they are jumpers whose bodies sank and decomposed while their shoes floated their feet downstream.

Sifted it here: http://videosift.com/video/The-Vancouver-Human-Foot-Discoveries

hm, they edited out all of the times the jumpers smashed into the rocks.

I go to Angora Lakes every summer. Great new perspective on all those cliff jumpers across the lake as I drink my lemonade!

people jumping off the world trade center would be even harder to categorize as snuff/non snuff. Because the film of the jumpers is quite graphic, yet I believe it belongs on the sift.

Disturbing yes. Snuff no! Because there is a valueable lesson attached.


The guy being gored by the elephant?

The guy being attacked and gored by the bull?

I don't think those people survived. Video sift has strict rules on what is and isn't snuff. This doesn't fit with those rules. You lot are obviously a lot more blood thirsty than I am, and see that as awesome, so be it. Good luck with that.

Nature can be awesome. Truly inspiring and incredible. The last sequence with the Buffalo calf being attacked by lions and then a crocodile and then being saved, that's awesome nature. Why the images of people being very badly injured/killed by animals? That's not nature. I don't believe that none of the victims died, this isn't a news story and I'm pretty sure that makes this snuff.
Nature can be horrendous as well as beautiful. I've watched lions in Kenya catch and kill a Zebra and it really was a horrible thing to see and hear. It took a long time to die. What you normally see on TV is the edited down version. Death is a part of nature, a part of life. The lioness had cubs and they would survive thanks to her killing ability. It wasn't just mindless violence.
I don't like to see snuff on the sift, but particularly when it's presented as being a demonstration of how awesome nature is. This is an unpleasant video and about as far from being awesome as it's possible to be. If a bullied animal gets it's own back on the person bullying it, nothing good has happened. The animals 'getting revenge' in this video will have been killed for what they did. Awesome would have been seeing these animals being rescued from their positions and looked after properly before things got that bad. This is just sad.

I have to disagree on "nothing good has happened".
IMHO if the abusers died for what they did to the animals, the world is a little bit better.
And to take the edge out of the snuff-judgement:
a) the bungee jumper was fake
b) the dude arm wrestling the crocodile, alive and had it coming
c) the fucktard participating in the toro-chase in spain? Educational I hope.
d) the poacher for torturing the cat? Educational too.
Disturbing yes. Snuff no! Because there is a valueable lesson attached.

While I agree this definitely is not snuff, and so do 13 others, including myself again, should we not take all valid-ish concerns and discuss them? That's just because I am very rules-centered. (I hate guidelines, but not rules, funny huh?) And hurricanes are not "newsworthy" because they happen everyday somewhere @robbersdog49 but it is educational and this particular video is both morality based and educational.

Respect nature, or else.

Interesting to see how much faster he landed than ski jumpers. Those things obviously provide more lift.

I am a Bulls fan, and I'll say James could end up being better than Jordan. Is he better now? No. The comments in this video about how he's a lock down defender because he shutdown Derrick Rose? Look, James is a pretty good defender, but the reason he shut down Rose is because Rose is far shorter than James, and Rose only has speed over James, and that's so miniscule, James could still block most any shot Rose would try to make driving to the rim. Rose simply has not developed offensive moves to be able to score against James because he can't shoot the jumper well enough to take more difficult shots like step backs and fades necessary to shoot over James. That's not Rose's game... yet. Rose simply tried to be more athletic than James when you think about it, and as good as Rose is in that department, James is the best pure athlete the NBA has ever seen.

That doesn't make James a lock down defender. It makes him a freakish athlete. He won't shutdown Dirk. He can't shutdown Kobe. He can't shutdown Durant. Hell, Luol Deng can get some points against James. James is a good defender, but he's not great.

James is an incredible athlete. The fact that he can keep up speed wise with Rose is ridiculous. With that said, James isn't the on ball defender Jordan was. James is also not the clutch scorer Jordan was. Yes, James can rebound better. But when it comes to which one when the game is on the line, who would you want making the offensive and defensive plays to win you the game? Jordan, hands down.

With that said, James has the potential to become a better defender because he's a better athlete than Jordan. James has the athletic ability to guard virtually anyone in the NBA, even a center, and give them fits. Jordan could never guard a center or even big forward. But James at this point cannot be considered a great defender. Jordan was without a doubt.

Jordan to this point is clearly better, but objectively, James has a long career ahead of him to catch up and perhaps pass Jordan.

Freeze-frame it. First jumper clears by about 1m. The shadows match the background and the curvature of the ground. CSI the heck out of it: I think it's real and these guys are nutbars. I thought fake at first, and maybe it is. A good fake if so.


This is legit. Jokke Sommer is a well known wingsuit jumper http://jokkesommer.com/ This is from a Norwegian TV show, called Oppdrag Sognefjorden, about extreme sports, it might be region blocked, but you can watch it here: http://www.nrk.no/programmer/sider/oppdrag_sognefjorden/

I havent seen the show, but i recognize at least one of the guys sitting there, the one with the grey sweater is Lasse Kjus, an ex-alpine rider
