I like her flight style. Most wingsuit deaths are directly attributable to proximity flying. Flying in the open air is about as safe as any other kind of skydive.
Just as amazing as the flight was the elegant way, after her parachute is released, she floats down and steers and lands upright on her feet onto the appointed landing spot beside the fiord.
Someone asked me how much it would cost to do a wingsuit flight down the east ridge of the Eiger and this is a rough estimate starting from zero experience. Now there are many variables that could make the cost go up or down based on if you buy new or used gear, how much coaching you get and how much training you actually want to do before putting your life in real danger but I do feel this is pretty accurate 😉 “Well you have to learn to skydives first and that will cost about $3,000 to get an A license. You then have to buy skydiving gear which will cost about $6,000. You then have to do around 500 skydives which will cost about $15,000. You will have to then do another 500 skydives using progressively bigger wing suits. There will be at least three levels of wing suits you will have to fly at about $2,000 each so if you combine the jumps and the cost of the different suits you are looking at another $21,000. Now you are ready to learn how to BASE jump. The classes for that will be about $2,000 and you will then have to buy BASE jumping equipment which will be around $5,000. You will have to travel to Europe for multiple seasons at around $5,000 per trip including airfare. After about 3 or 4 season BASE jumping in Europe you are now ready to rent a chopper to get you to altitude and that will be around $700 for one jump. This process will most likely take you between 5 to 10 years depending on how much time and resources you can put into it. You could also die at pretty much any stage of your training and never even get to this stage. So in short it can cost you everything 👍🏻”- Jeb Corliss, wingsuit pilot and base jumper
The closest I ever came to something like that was hanggliding off glacier point in Yosemite which is ~3000 ' vertical, but those fjords are on a whole 'nother level. I wonder how they get to the launch point and the recovery point? Helicopter? Boat? Hiking?
Most don't actually, the vast majority continue to jump very frequently free of any incidents at all. You can do the math quite simply using the base fatality website vs. the total number of jumpers world wide. It's a very small minority of unfortunate people that either make a bad decision or miscalculation. There 10's of thousands of jumpers world wide and only 469 fatalities to date so far. It's a shame the world focuses on only the fatalities when there literally 100's of thousands of successful jumps evety year.
@@cursory9031 Do you mean a secondary parachute? They all have only one parachute. Typically base jumping accidents don't occure from parachute malfunction, they occur from bad decision making, like flying too low into terrain without enough speed or jumping difficult cliffs without enough experience. If a parachute malfunctions, the person didn't pack it properly or they didn't use it properly. People quite often pull too low in panic or pull too close to a cliff while off balance causing line twists and off heading openings. Parachutes don't mysteriously malfunction, they are very, very basic peices of equipment. If someone ties their shoe laces and they come undone then they trip over them, do you call it a shoe malfunction or do you blame them for not tying them properly? P.S. I have been jumping for 14 years. It isn't luck.
would like to see a video done by someone wearing a vision pro in 3d. but videos like this are still amazing and very enjoyable. i can just imagine the wright brothers standing there watching these people jumping off the cliff and with their eyes as big as saucers. next thing they would be fighting each other for a wingsuit so they could jump first.
Tiny light droplets of water get slowed down pretty hard when falling (like throwing a ping-pong ball VS a tennis ball). A human falls much faster. A quick Google says a wingsuit can manage to slow down a fall to only slightly faster than falling water.
You are much braver and far more talented than me. Don't know how you people do that stuff. I wouldn't even get fifty feet from the edge of some of those cliffs.
Hate to say it but only people making bad decisions and poor packing are dying in this sport. Most of the fatalities were preventable. The reason why so many have died is because the sport is really new.
The memorial stone at Troll Wall have 50-50 with rock climbers and BASE jumpers on it. The introduction of wingsuit have made BASE jumps off cliffs safer. BASE jumping in Troll Wall was banned in 1987. We have considered lifting this ban, but the ban stay because Troll Wall is a no-fly zone for helicopters. You are allowed to jump elsewhere, there is a helicopter on standby for rescue. However, they not allowed to fly near Troll Wall because of the constant rock fall there.
That is an incredibly inacurate statistic. There have only been 469 fatalities in total and 100's of thousands of jumps. I personally know jumpers with over 4000 jumps that are still flying. I have been flying wingsuits from mountains since 2010, I don't keep track of my jumps.
Base Jumping, Very dangerous. According to Blinc, A site dedicated to Base Jumping, which lists deaths, using stats from 2021 and 2022 you only have to wait about two weeks before the next death. Mark Thomas, dead, June, 5, 2023, Trento, Italy.. For adrenaline junkies.
My experience with adrenaline junkies, is that they are unreasonable, but they can be highly intelligent . Me Retired US Navy test pilot. Now let that sink in.
we are not « adrenaline junkies », the adrenaline shoot came with the first jumps, when you learn. When I jump and fly, I don’t have this adrenaline shot, I (we) just love being in the air and fly by our own. BASE its dangerous, yep everybody knows, but it dépends of you practice (experience, self assessment of your capabilities, commitment,…). There is a large part of « old » base jumpers who have been doing this for 10-15-20 years and still doing it. For the stat, number of practicing have significantly increased, so accident too. But coaching makes the sport more responsible
Would you dare to jump? 🪂
a storey high is all I'm capable of :(
Sure. Will you pay for the plane ticket, training and gear?
nah..... under water ok.... the air....i would send a drone😁
YESSSS... And I would want her to teach it to me.
Yes. I absolute would. Looks amazing. Just the footage FEELS amazing. Thank you for sharing. How do I get involved?
You get to see views that ordinary people would never have the opportunity to see. Thank you for sharing your footage so we can see
I HAVE NOTHING BUT DEEP ADMIRATION FOR THESE SPORTSMEN AND WOMEN THEIR DEDICATION COMMITMENT AND GUTS ARE WITHOUT DOUBT MOST PRAISEWORTHY A FAN
Really yes!

Props to the post sound team on this video. I've been watching a bunch of sky diving clips for inspiration and this one has the best sound hands down.
Unbelievable what a thrill I can't even imagine the feeling and The View incredible, stay safe and may you have many many jumps.
awesome. I Envy you very much. Regards from Poland.
wow what a beautiful view
I wanna try this soooooo badd

Anyone know which fjord this was filmed at?
Amazing !
"Ground! That's a good name. I wonder if it will be friends with me"

BRO WHO EVEN ARE U 😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
most of the time, hiking
You can hike to the cliff or take a helicopter during the annual event there but you need a boat or helicopter to get back to the town near by.
yeah me too the also i had the same close experience, but then i woke up and felt out of the bed
Very cool!
it looks amazing. but sadly most wingsuit jumpers run out of luck eventually.

Awesome
I’d absolutely love to have a go at this. How do I get started??
I was surprised she was falling so much faster than the water.
Optical illusion.
Tiny light droplets of water get slowed down pretty hard when falling (like throwing a ping-pong ball VS a tennis ball). A human falls much faster. A quick Google says a wingsuit can manage to slow down a fall to only slightly faster than falling water.
for biggest wingsuit, falling rate is around 70-90 km/h
Why are you surprised? The terminal velocity of water is around 20 mph. Humans can exceed 200.
@@axelhours70-90 is the slowest airspeed I can fly with vertical drop rate of around 30km/hour.
It’s fun until you go Splat!
You are much braver and far more talented than me. Don't know how you people do that stuff. I wouldn't even get fifty feet from the edge of some of those cliffs.
wow, I would have a heart attack jumping off that
A Norwegian study published by the NIH found a base jumping death for about 2,300 jumps.
Hate to say it but only people making bad decisions and poor packing are dying in this sport. Most of the fatalities were preventable. The reason why so many have died is because the sport is really new.
@@steveroman3729Would you count flying close to objects as a bad decision then? Because those proximity flights are a real thing, and are super risky

Literally one of most dangerous activites in the world. People die A LOT.
@@MuthafuckinPuddings Not really, many of the deaths were avoidable, technology has made the sport a lot safer. Quit fear mongering.

Yep that’s the risk they take they know they can die but the buzz, Adrenaline they get from jumping keeps them coming back for more
