In 2011,Antoine Montant became yet another victim of an extreme sport.
He was killed while base jumping in france. Base jumpers jump off high places with a wing suit and a parachute. Montant's parachute did not open. It took search and rescue workers two days to find his body in the mountains. Montant was a famous extreme athlete, who lived in the mountains of France. Extreme athletes typically do sports that are more dangerous than regular sports. He learned to ski from a very early age. He soon became an instructor and coach. When he was nine, he began paragliding. His love of excitement led him to seek ways to bring both sports together to increase the excitement further. He made many suggestions before he achieved his goal and invented "speed skiing." This extreme sport has two of the features of his favorite sports- skis and parachutes. In speed skiing,the athlete skis down a high mountain while wearing a parachute.
