Devil And people say helicopter flying is dangerous .....

Picture sent in to Rotorheads by Johan Winkler, a Swiss helicopter pilot, who says:
The Cresta Run is a ¾ mile natural ice run down a gulley from above St Moritz to the village of Celerina and drops more than 500 feet.
Riders go down head-first and, with gradients as steep as 1 in 2.8, reach speeds of up to 130 kph!!
The famous 'Cresta Run' at the St Moritz Tobogganing Club, Switzerland



80 mph head first on a toboggan.
And people say helicopter flying is dangerous.
