Speed Fly is a novel sport gaining momentum among extreme sports enthusiasts. The Speed Flyer first is a Sky Diver using a paraglider to slow down its fall. Then, as you look closer, you notice that a Speed Flyer is also wearing a pair of Ski and that the fall takes place among mountains where the Speed Flyer is at times flying and at times Skiing. Great sport, the video below shows the world leader in the discipline at Chamonix in French Alps. Enjoy!

On Wikipedia, one can read an interesting article about Fainting Goats which are “a breed of domestic goat whose muscles freeze for roughly 10 seconds when the goat is startled”. This condition is caused by a genetic disorder which, although painless for the animal, causes young goats to fall on their side while older goats learn to counteract the episode by spreading their legs! The amazing video below shows you all about it. Enjoy!
