From the author of the best-selling 'Lemon!' comes 'Splat!', a funny, quirky look at some of the most ludicrously dangerous sports in the world.
What kind of person risks their life for their sport? And more to the point, why?
Intrepid author Tony Davis takes a leap into the unknown to find out in 'Splat! The Madness and Magnificence of the World's Most Dangerous Sports'. Talking to top exponents of the most edgy sports on the planet Davis uncovers why anyone would:
- BASE jump off a perilous mountain peak
- Dive 200 metres beneath the ocean without scuba gear
- Slide down the world's biggest ski jump
- Soar six kilometres above the earth on a hang glider
- Drive a jet powered car through the sound barrier or
- Be flung through the air by a trebuchet.
