Time was, a young chap would entertain himself by playing a game of chequers. Maybe indulge in a spot of hedge-trimming. Or woodwork. Not riding a dirt-bike off a cliff and parachuting down to the bottom.

Base jumper Julio Munoz decided life was about having a heart attack, so he strapped a parachute onto his back and drove his bike off a Chilean mountain edge. For kicks. If you're unaware, ‘base jumping' entails jumping off buildings, antennae, spans and earth.

Watch the video of his quite astonishing stunt, and then ask yourself: what's wrong with fishing?
