Hold Your Breath as Extreme Paraglider Swoops Between Buildings

Sometimes, paragliding off of a cliff just isn't extreme enough.

Hawaii is known for its beautiful landscapes, but instead of relaxing on the beach, Derek Dutton used the cliffy countryside as a launching pad to paraglide. The 25-year-old adrenaline junkie doesn't just soar down to an open field -- he corkscrews and swoops into a fast descent, landing in just seconds.

As though that wasn't impressive enough, Dutton manages to sneak between two buildings during his drop (just barely, from the looks of it).

On Twitter, Dutton boasts that he has 4,000 skydives and 100 BASE jumps under his belt.
