    What if you cant gain back the altitude? like slowly approaching the ground without the distance to gain altitude? is the flyer in control of that?

    I think it’s dangerous to sponsor that kind of activity, I hope kids don’t think they can do this too, many people die doing BASE jumping and not many people do it

  136. Avatar

    He must have trained flying close to the ground starting at a safe amount and just kept dropping it lower and lower until you learn how close you can get to the ground without pushing the limit and touching. Much respect to the man willing to do this! Worth making an awesome GoPro video.

    So how do you train to go wing suit diving? Do you just jump and either die horribly or succeed?

    I don’t think that helmet would be very useful if something went wrong

    One these days he’s gonna get a bird in the face while flying.

    How fast was he Going ???
    This is tremendously FAST. !!!
    Indeed one would have had to go through a lot of training to master the body vs the wind to master body control from spinning out of countries.
    Not just any body can do this.
    It indeed takes the right kind of person to develops steering the technics of bony flying ! That means scores of hours on jumping skills out of air planes first on free falls.
    I’d almost want to say this was a movie and they simply attached him with wires to hold him up, but it’s real folks !!!
    I’d love to know how fast he’s going here as it’s very high speed !!!

    AWE inspiring !!!
    Hay Devon you got to tell us how fast you’re going ????

  160. Avatar

    He doesn’t really risk it that much if he does his math. The gravity is pulling him down by 1 meter every 1,5 meters in length. So everything below that line is theoretically impossible to be a threat.

    That’s a big pile of nope.

    Faked as all get out, the aerodynamics would have to completely not come into play. He would eat ground if he came that close in for real.

    Seems like their would be a harsh down draft so close to the ground or in between pockets of land mass. Helicopters & air planes get sucked down to the ground in such places. It’s where hot & cold drafts of air meet that these pockets are present.
    I was surprised he was able to be that close to the ground without being pulled down to the ground?

    I love that flare before deploying the parachute Just like a plane.

    As the speed drops significantly i wonder if it is still very dangerous to land like that on water without parachute.

    Please ease up a little mate. Doesn’t matter how low you can fly we don’t actually care about that. The Isle of Man motorcycle race, a bird hits a rider and breaks the riders neck. Ease up and live a little longer sending us beautiful film. We are amazed at how wonderful your sport is, not how low you fly. Thank you, this is incredible.

    Wingsuit is not an art of flying it is an art of falling, with undebatable style and grandness, though.

    Thank you for not adding music to this. Music completely ruins the emersion and it’s really frustrating that most jump videos have it.
