Le saut en combinaison ailée est à la pointe des sports extrêmes -- une prouesse exaltante d'audace presqu'incroyable, pendant laquelle les hommes volants traversent des canyons à plus de 150 km/h. Ueli Gegenschatz nous raconte comment (et pourquoi) il le fait et montre des vidéos à couper le souffle.

Ueli Gegenschatz took flight just about every way a human can: paragliding, skydiving, BASE jumping (from the Eiffel Tower), and most breathtakingly: by donning a wingsuit and soaring. Full bio »
