Giving yourself to others so they may live a great life by making a strong and loving family. 2. Helping others selflessly in meaningful ways. 3. Doing something truly heroic for someone else. 4. Saving another person's life. 5. Raising your child to be a great person and good citizen.
      You know... basically all the things that aren't the self-absorbed act of jumping off a cliff for an adrenaline rush. And here's a stat you can corroborate to drive this all home: One in 500 jumps are fatal. I hope people who do this don't have loved ones who rely on them.

      Except showing a fake horizon without even alerting the viewers. UA-cam should start banning any video that shows wide angle shots without alerting the viewers or have clearly written information regarding the distortions. Perhaps maybe people should ask Go Pro and other companies why don't they use come with wide angle NON Distortion lenses.....but the answer may surprise you it has nothing to do with cost since this would literally be a $5 oem part for them and no one would ever see these ridiculous videos that distort our reality ever again. It's 2024 time to understand your eyes don't distort the world so why use any camera that would!.

Don't want to stall out and then lose your glide. It has to be the most amazing thing a person can experience. Just diving that wingsuit towards the terrain hauling ass. Takes balls of steel too.

    Wing-suit has got to be the most extreme invention in sports ever! I can remember first time I saw it. A Watts-Zap clip on Eurosport maybe 20 yeas ago. I could not believe what I was seing, at first I thought it was a big RC-plane, following the contours of an alpine slope. But when the camera zoomed in, I could see it was a madman "flying" in a suit with flaps sown in between his arms and legs. I was in total shock and awe! What had I just witnessed!?? I tried to explain it to my friends, but they said it had to be CGI, and I could not find the clip anywhere. Before Google and youtube. Now 20 years later ppl are flying like its normal. Crazy!

While I knew in this video the guy would come out all right, I was of course gritting on how perilously close he seem to each stone wall; how close he was in every moment to orchestrating his own instant death. I would imagine the technology has evolcved in 20 years, and the ability to steer must be part of that. What do you know about that?

      Yes, progress is a marvellous thing! I was thinking at the end also, the modern steerable parachutes are so good - when you think back to all the poor blighters who had to parachute into enemy territory in wartime with almost no control over their landing, and a good chance of breaking a limb on impact. Now it looks so easy - just pop down in a small field next to power lines and a busy road with complete confidence and land comfortably on your feet.

Also videos explaining your equipment, chute packing, safety measures and your thoughts during the lead up to a flight. Your deep breathing clearly tells us your focus and adrenalin kick - that really adds to the build up before you jump! But to really take us “with you” please show us the preparation, the planning and build up so, in that moment you jump, we truly understand the magnitude and climax of your sport! Many thanks! :)

      @@wingman4717 - Perhaps, but many of those doing those vids were going down established flight paths. Plus, this one had so much continual risk, it was impressive. I have not seen many videos, but I have not seen any that seemed to have more memorably more prolonged risk than this one. Perhaps there are?

    Holy sh*t! Way, way outside my pay grade, infinite respect. A couple of those vertical edges flying by were really close, could see it in the shadows. To say that was a real cliff hanger would be a profound understatement . . . if this was an Olympic event, you'd definitely have the gold medal for this one.

    What impressed me the most was that you climbed up there.
    I was listening for the helicopter that dropped you off but couldn't hear it.
    Then I read in the description that you climbed up there and had to fly down with all your gear.
    Absolutely Insane!
    Great video as well. Nice and raw.
    Thanks for sharing this experience.
