How would you fancy jumping over 6,000 ft off the top of a mountain?<\/p>\n
It certainly doesn't sound like my idea of fun, but this is exactly what Valery Rozov likes to get up to in his spare time.<\/p>\n
The man recently set a new record for base jumping after he leapt off a mountain in the Indian part of the Himalayas.<\/p>\n
After taking 30 days to scale the summit, Mr Rozov plunged back down to earth in just 90 seconds in a specially-adapted suit. <\/p>\n
"We had a few difficulties along the way, so I am really pleased that we were able to complete the jump successfully," he added.<\/p>\n
It is not the first time Mr Rozov has shown his daredevil side and previously he leapt into an active volcano in Russia.<\/p>\n
However, it was not all fun and games as he had to wait for three days for the rest of the expedition team to get back down to the bottom.<\/p>\n
