Leap of faith

There was an email circulating a while ago showing a photographer jumping from a ledge in the grand canyon to another ledge. It looked amazing yet dangerous like he was putting his life on the line.

These photos were taken by Hans van de Vorst.
The photographer jumping is unknown.

I google this to see was it real or a photoshop effort.

I found another picture which shows that it was real but maybe not as dangerous as the first images show.

I just goes to prove that pictures dont always tell the full story!!:D

You can see the ledges better here:

Snopes probably have some script preventing deep linking directly to the images. The story (with images) is above. Regardless that there's a connecting ledge 'just below', I don't think I'd be making that jump !
