Guy makes a suit of spandex and body armor-type panels, and attaches 20+ inline skating wheels to the torso, knees, arms, etc. He then heads down several passes in the Alps, in traffic, at greater than highway speeds. He somehow survives.

Saw this on MetaFilter this morning, and this must have been one hell of a wild ride. The video is in 3 parts, and IMO the second part is the most interesting and, er, death defying:

(Parts 1 and 3 are accessible from the above link if anyone is interested.) Enjoy!

i didn't really get a feel for his speed at all for some reason. still looked pretty cool, he definitely looks like he's been practicing. but it didn't wow me.
