Man chases runaway car across busy highway in Switzerland

Good Lord man! What were you thinking???!? Is the car really worth it? He could have been run over by those trucks... or cars. Insane...

A driver had a lucky escape near Colombier, Switzerland, when his car rolled away from him on the shoulder into a busy highway. Police Neuchâteloise shared the video, and it shows the driver — who had pulled in to talk to a truck driver, who is a friend of his — racing after the car once it started moving away.

Pro Infirmis «Because who is perfect?»

Great vid created by Pro Infirmis, an organization for disabilities for International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Even greater - where it was done, on one of the world's most expensive and exclusive shopping avenues in Zurich, Switzerland - Bahnhofstrasse...




Disabled mannequins will be eliciting astonished looks from passers-by on Zurich's Bahnhofstrasse today. Between the perfect mannequins, there will be figures with scoliosis or brittle bone disease modelling the latest fashions. One will have shortened limbs; the other a malformed spine. The campaign has been devised for the International Day of Persons with Disabilities by Pro Infirmis, an organisation for the disabled. Entitled "Because who is perfect? Get closer.", it is designed to provoke reflection on the acceptance of people with disabilities. Director Alain Gsponer has captured the campaign as a short film.

All eyes on the S4

Hey!  Now that's a cool way (albeit hard), to give away a Samsung Galaxy S4 courtesy of Swisscom...








Find out how people in Zurich used their eyes to win a Samsung Galaxy S4 of their own. It's inbuilt Smart Pause function means the S4 knows when someone is looking at it. The longer a participant stares at the screen, the bigger the discount is. But watch out! The game ends the moment eye contact ends. An S4 was handed out for free after 60 minutes.

Alexander Polli, Tracksuit, Wingsuit Flying: Reality Of Human Flight

Lol.  It's almost like a scene out of a fantasy movie!  We can't believe this is real never mind possible.  But the vid sure proves it.  Wingsuit Flying... wingsuit diving...  it's all new to us!
Uhm.. either way, we aint brave enough to try it.  We'll let you try it first, ok?  Just kiddin'.. as you'll read below - it's only recommended for the experts!
Breathtaking scenery by-the-way, over New Zealand, Switzerland and Norway!








GoPro HD Athlete Alexander Polli wingsuit diving in New Zealand, Switzerland, and Norway. This is proximity flying with a wingsuit and proximity flying in tracking gear (tracksuit) without a wingsuit; tracking gear consists of a jacket and pants that inflate with air, which then increases push force when you move your body through the air.

Proximity flying with a wingsuit is recommended only for very trained athletes and is considered a very dangerous sport. Proximity flying in tracking gear leaves even less margin for error and requires a more specific choice of flyable lines—if you get too deep, you don't have wings to help you get out.
