'Sky Diving Saved My Life'

from Not by the Playbook · host BBC World Service

Could extreme sports like sky diving and base jumping have a lasting positive affect on the mind? We hear from professor Eric Brymer whose research suggests just that, and Jared Lindzon who says Sky Diving cured his depression.As Arsene Wenger's time at Arsenal draws to a close we hear from one of his harshest critics, Robbie Lyle from Arsenal fan TV. We're in Denver as Rugby Union makes it's latest attempt to carve out a spot in America's crowded sporting landscape. 24 hours before the London Marathon we hear from Maddy Warren, one of the 40,000 people taking to the streets of the British capital on Sunday but the only one doing so without any kidneys. And we're in Chesterfield finding out about the English football rivalry forged in the mines and on picket lines.(Photo: A sky diver comes into land. Credit: Brendon Thorne/Getty Images)
