Adrenaline Rush: The Science of Risk (2003)

Documentary. Cliff jumping, synchronized team sky diving, and wingsuit-assisted flight comes to the high-definition IMAX format. More a paean to adrenaline than a scientific essay, Da Vinci is credited for the foundational aerodynamic designs. What a trip! Fall at 200 mph with these skydivers to the tune of Phil Collins singing "When You're Falling" (miscited in the credits as "When You're Fallen"). 37 min. 4 stars.

    It is Peter Gabriel who sings on "When you're falling". The song was recorded with "Afro-Celt Sound System"

  2. Thanks, I was fuzzy on that (tiny credits, competing ambient audio, and a snippet of research).
