You see this sort of activity condoned encouraged countless times in films, novels and cartoons, where the locale is some sort of island paradise/isolationism. The exhilaritive thrill of leaping off a sheer cliff face, even in one's vicarious mind, seems to be ageless.
Thanks for sharing, dlish. The article didn't state, but what would you guess is the photographic interval of capture for the man diving? It has to be less than a second in-between: it's even below half-a-second, perhaps between .15 and .4 seconds in-between each phase of the falling man, though there is no evidence that each stage is a perfectly-timed elapse period. The photographer could have post-processed just the ten "best" dots of the plummet. Cool photo, but the details of it would have made it great.
