Red Bull Flugtag Goes Over the Edge This Saturday

Red Bull continues its world tour of wacky this weekend with a stop in Chicago. They'll be hosting Flugtag this Saturday at North Avenue Beach, in which willing participants will throw themselves over a 30-foot ledge in a homemade flying contraption, probably to bellyflop into Lake Michigan. If watching people get wet and wild as they plummet through the sky on an oversized parade float with wings sounds like a bizarre way to spend your Saturday, well, it is, and we can't wait! Here's a taste of what you're in for:

Gates open at 11 a.m., first flight is at 1 p.m.
