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?
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!
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
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.
wow what a beautiful view
Beautiful
awesome. I Envy you very much. Regards from Poland.
Very cool!
Awesome
WOW.
Anyone know which fjord this was filmed at?
Unbelievable what a thrill I can't even imagine the feeling and The View incredible, stay safe and may you have many many jumps.
You are so beautiful a perfect person I love your freedom.... Fly like a eagle an let your spirit be free..,.. 😅🎉❤
I’d absolutely love to have a go at this. How do I get started??
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?
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

Any idea the name of this song?

My dream 😍🥺🥺
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.
Who' that person in the video?
It’s fun until you go Splat!
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
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.
Short life
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.
❤❤🎉🎉
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.
looks interesting, might give it a try
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.
it looks amazing. but sadly most wingsuit jumpers run out of luck eventually.
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.
@@alistairclark6814do these jumpers has a parachute in case something bad happens?
@@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.
@@alistairclark6814that’s sick dude keep doing what ya love
@@johnnydepp7045 Thanks Johnny Depp! Will do. You too. 🤘
What's this ladies name please
Hege
A brave girl is cool
The narrator says Hege with a Swedish accent. Kind of funny.
I was imagining the Dr. No theme... (sorry)
whats her name
Hege Ringard.
It's all about freedom
3000 crazy people and, at today ,473 deads all over the world.Today one more in Italy,for a total of 56 just in Italy......Too sad
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.
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
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
@@raywhitehead730 let what sink in?
Dangerous stuff. Just like the one who got high at 0522. Someone said what it was. Crystal.. that's why there's a grey area on everything in their lives and that's why there's very little you can trust. That's why they don't feel any remorse.
Explain the lore
What?
Dumb ways to die 🎵
