1) Mieders Alpine Coaster (with no brakes!!)

One of the most viewed films on the internet was made by a Suffolk accountant whose hobby is riding rollercoasters all over the world.

David Ellis, from Lowestoft, has ridden more than 900 coasters and uploads his exploits to the web. He said the three million views of his latest ride – without brakes – was "phenomenal".

This is a single-pipe alpine coaster in Mieders, Austria. You reach the summit via a cablecar and then sit on a small car with a brake lever and off you go. Having ridden it once using a little braking, I decided to try it a second time without using the brakes.

This is SCARY! Enjoy the ride!

WARNING – I have ridden almost 900 roller coasters around the world and am highly experienced with on-ride filming…so don’t try to copy this. Coasters are fun, but taking risks could be dangerous. So always ride safely and abide by the operator’s instructions and ride rules!

Mieders Alpine Coaster – Off-ride

This is how the coaster looks like…You don’t have to wear any safety helmet! I guest it must be safe 🙂

.

For all those that watched my on-ride footage who wanted to know what the cars looked like, here is some off ride footage and a photo of the cars. They are small and open and for safety you just have a seatbelt across your lap. That’s it. Now…who is feeling scared to ride with no brakes??

2) Sea Bed Hunting On One Breath – Human Planet: Oceans, preview – BBC One

This is an example of SkinDiving(FreeDiving).

SkinDiving is the practice of diving underwater without the use of a portable air supply such as oxygen tank. It’s fun!

Since it does not using any portable air supply, it can get risky without proper education and guides.

Anyway, not to worry because SkinDiving has getting popular in Malaysia. You able to learn SkinDiving today in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. I get know of this concept after attending a talk at the 6th Malaysia International Dive Expo 2011 given by Richard Wonka – We Freedive / AIDA International

Two and a half minutes on one breath. Filmed underwater in real-time for Human Planet, Bajau fisherman, Sulbin, freedives to 20 metres to catch a fish.

Richard Wonka, Freediving Instructor and Judge, is co-founder of the freediving school We Freedive which offers courses throughout South-East Asia. He is a member of the AIDA International Educational Commission, which has been shaping the face of freediving education world wide since 1992.

Coming from a background as a research scientist in the pharmaceutical industry, he became a professional freediver in 2008, competing in the German national team at the AIDA Team Freediving Championships in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. He has since focused his energy on teaching and training freedivers and has founded the international freediving school We freedive™ together with his partner Sarah Whitcher.

 

To the uninitiated, free diving can sound flat-out terrifying, diving into the open seas with no gear, just relying on yourself and trusting your body. But to others, they find it to be a great way to appreciate the beauty and the wildlife of the oceans without interruption or disturbance. Three free-divers sit down with us to share their experiences and clear up misconceptions.
