So in this video they show guys dropping off a paraglider thing (no idea what their called) at the peaks of some pretty nice mountains in Alaska. I'm sure these pros studied the snow and avi risks such as pitch, snow quality and so on, but isn't the 'dropping in impact' at the top of the peak dangerous as hell in any circumstance? Just curious what your thoughts were. Aceman

No, the whole operation was 100% safe from start to finish.
