Cliff Diving from a Rocky Ledge in Italy by Red Bull

One of the best things about 360 video technology is that it allows us to live out our fantasies of doing wild and crazy stunts without actually having to leave the sofa. This video by Red Bull is a perfect example.

Filmed on a camera strapped to Kyle Mitrione from the US Cliff Diving Team, watching this footage makes you feel like you’re jumping off this dangerous precipice in Italy as part of the 2017 Cliff Diving World Series. Luckily, the video dives right in without including the knee-knocking nerves that came beforehand.
