In the video taken by filmmaker Devin Graham, you can see how Powell just doesn’t want to jump. Can you blame her?

Austrian Felix Baumgartner set a world record for the highest skydive. He jumped out of a balloon 24 miles above New Mexico and became the first skydiver to break the sound barrier. It took about 10 minutes for the 43-year-old to reach the ground. He was in a freefall for much of the skydive. He went into a spin before regaining stability.

A youth hockey coach in Vancouver tripped a 13-year-old player, leaving the kid with a broken wrist. “I don’t ever want to see that coach on a bench behind kids ever again,” said Richmond Steel team manager Tammy Hohlweg. “It’s just horrible that a coach would go after a child like that and what’s even more horrible is that their team won. We were the losing team and that guy still went after our kid.” Wed, 27 Jun 2012 13:51:06 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/action_sports/article_external/video_youth_hockey_coach_arrested_after_tripping_and_injuring_player/11102693 http://network.yardbarker.com/action_sports/article_external/video_youth_hockey_coach_arrested_after_tripping_and_injuring_player/11102693 Video: Youth hockey coach arrested after tripping and injuring player http://www.yardbarker.com/action_sports/articles/video_youth_hockey_coach_arrested_after_tripping_and_injuring_player/11102693 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png Check out the video.

In this insane video, Red Bull sponsored Belgium base jumper Cedric Dumont “tames the crack” of the Churfirsten Mountains in beautiful Switzerland. My buddies and I refer to “taming the crack” as something completely different from this, but nobody should ever second guess this modern-day superhero. Watch as Cedric literally flies through a deadly mountain range in his wing-suit just feet away from crashing into the surrounding boulders and certain death. This dude needs to be checked into an insane asylum before he kills himself!!!

Three kayakers went over a 90-foot waterfall at the Noccalula Falls Park in Alabama for a documentary they’re producing. That's right, a 90-foot drop straight down. Here’s a post on the kayakers' website: “This is probably the biggest waterfall ever in the Southeast U.S. The first and only descent of this monster was by Pat Keller, Isaac Levinson and Chris Gragtmans. With several attempts being thwarted by low water, finally getting this beast on film was quite the accomplishment!" According to local reports, park officials arrived after the plunge and asked the crew to leave the property. The crew escaped with great video and no injuries.

Swiss daredevil Yves Rossy raced two jets over the Swiss Alps while wearing a jet suit. The 52-year-old pilot is known as “Jetman.” He dropped from a helicopter and traveled at 125 mph wearing a kerosene-powered wing that he designed himself. He flew alongside two L-39C Albatros jets from the Breitling Jet Team, the world's largest professional civilian aerobatics squad. Rossy has been flying over natural landmarks since 2008. He flew across the English Channel and the Grand Canyon. He had a slight mishap in 2009 when he tried to fly across the Straits of Gibraltar and fell into the sea. Rossy is a former fighter pilot and a commercial pilot. He once flew for Swissair.
