A group of Russian daredevils have sought an adrenaline rush with an extreme twist - they've BASE jumped without a parachute harness.

The Moscow-based adventurists, known as the Sinner Team, have forgone traditional skydiving equipment and affixed their parachute rigging directly into their flesh.

Founded by Stanislav Aksenov and his wife Elena in 2008, the group of body modification and suspension enthusiasts have honed their craft over time and experiemented with bungee jumping and now BASE jumping.

Mr Aksenov stresses that the entire practice is dangerous and shouldn't be attempted by individuals without the necessary training and experience.

The team recently undertook their first BASE jump suspension in Konakovo, Russia. A word of warning: the video isn't for the faint-hearted!
