Very dangerous flying that close to the ground at that speed, however he could have flown away from the mountain at any time and over obstacles with ease.Awesome none the less!
Watch the better quality linked video someone posted, it has some shots from the chopper.Looks like good fun, that mountain sure looks high from the top.
@wolfkeeperActually, the glide ratio of an average glider is 10:1 or 8:1, but this isn't your ordinary glider, its a speed-glider, used with skies, and has a much lesser glide ratio.
