This just in! EXTREME ACCOUNTING!

Extreme accounting is the latest - and unlikeliest - adrenaline sport.

Accountants visit challenging locations like mountain tops, seabeds, caves and rollercoasters.
Inspired by the "extreme ironing craze", (this really DOES exist) they take their paperwork with them, reports the Sun.

South African Keet Van Zyl is the sport's reigning champion.
(I'd like to know what he did to deserve the title...did he set himself on fire while adding up two tax returns at the same time?)

A spokesman for the Chartered Institute of Management Accounting said: "It's a phenomenon that pushes accountants to their limits - and beyond."

Oh and what, helping people evade their taxes isn't thrilling enough, it has to be done hanging naked over a croc pit?

Don't accountants get enough excitement tieing their own shoes?

Jeffye? Any thoughts?

Jeffye says he lost a laptop while sky-diving so he's decided to stop any form of extreme accounting thereafter. :)
