Wingsuit flying
The art of flying the human body through the air using a special jumpsuit that shapes the human body into a airfoil, with fabric sewn between the lets and under the arms, which creates a lift, once you reach a safe height, a parachute is developed and you land safely.
This is a suit meant for people bored of bungee jumps, for those willing to take one step further in the never ending quest for a risk-induced high. Of course you need to overlook the minor inconveniences of a silly-looking, clown-like costume.
But once one is able to conquer the dread of being seen in the silliest outfit, you are truly in for a wild ride. Imagine a free fall from heavens, nothing between and the earth. It is a minute where you are truly one with the universe after which you literally parachute back down to reality.
This is not merely adventurous, it is really a heavenly experience only a few daring alone can come to experience while they are alive. 170 words
