Extreme sports of the outer system

Astronomy Picture of the Day has a picture of Verona Rupes on Miranda today: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap110404.html They suggest that it might be possible to jump from this 20 km cliff in the weak Mirandan gravity, ending up moving att 200 km/h and then surviving impact by using an airbag. Sounds like fun! What else is there to do among the Uranian moons?

No matter what culture, or where you go, there is always one idiot that wants to kill themselves and have fun doing it.

Cool. I've long been fascinated by Miranda. I wonder if we'll see images from the surface in our lifetimes? As for other crazed sports: I can see piloting your customised space-flyer morph on a 30,000kph Kessel run around a gas giant's irregular moons as a kind of transhuman Formula-1.
