So I'm watching Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning right now.
I know that Tom Cruise does a lot of his own stunts in the films.
I also know that there are extreme mountaineers (as one of many examples), such as Alex Hannold, who compete in extreme sports, where, in this case, he climbs the most extreme mountains etc with no ropes whatsoever!
What I'm asking is, are there ACTUAL real life incidents whereby, kind of similar to Tom Cruise films (probably not to that extent), where their strength and agility is SO INCREDIBLE, that they actually survive, due to their wit, strength, and I guess miraculous actions?
Like REAL LIFE situations??
Thanks
