  1. Good luck man! The best of luck to you and all cancer survivors out there.

  2. I’m paralyzed and in a wheelchair, can I still wingsuit?

  3. what dick hit the thumbs down?

  4. Lovely story. Congratulations. Great persepctive Daniel Rodriguez,,,,,
    Whomever did the video… shame about the music, from 3.15 ,,, the problem with the digital era is that just about anybody seems to think they are some genius musician,,,,,, this is not the case,,,Nothing can give you the magic, you either have it or not. I found it unnerving, as i was watching the video, it really sounds like made on a computer, cold, looped, harshly played,,, no magic, no feel , everything music shouldnt be,,,….. The flying though , that is magic. And The lad’s take on life is too,

  5. what happens if the parachute malfunctions?

  6. how could you dislike !?

  7. Habibi Matrimonials

    A colectomy is hard for the first year but after that you feel as normal as anyone.

  8. . ✈

  9. l think that adrenalin cured you !!!!

  10. Awesome outlook and approach to the way you want life.

  11. MrOrthogonalization

    Colorectal cancer. At that point, you might as well fucking do it. Maybe adrenaline kills the cancer.

  12. Wow –

  13. r.i.p

  14. Your title is very misleading, “death by wing suit”….. WTF???

  15. …you’re more brave internally than the bravery it takes to jump in a wing suit!… best to you….

  16. how did you get it first place

  17. GOD bless you man- sayin prayers for ya

  18. As you are being pulled down , I look up to you. Live large, much love to you.

  19. Go Dan go!

  20. RSO (Rick Simpson Oil) will cure malignant cell disorders. Don’t fly from the cure.

  21. Kudos sir. Much respect.

  22. lot of guys that did this are not living…….

  23. Nobody should die of cancer.
    The answer and cure is right here in YouTube. Easy and cheap. H2O2 is the clue. Do it

  24. wow Taliban beard

  25. I used to skydive with Jim Paulson. He was one of the original designers of the Wing Suit.
    He passed away a few years back but his creation still carries on. RIP Jim,,,

  26. I was waiting for the GOPRO logo at the end. That would have been shitty

  27. ……..the title…………. Death by Wingsuit
    ….should be ………….. Life by Wingsuit

  28. Weed oil, weed oil, weed oil!

  29. AWESOME

  30. AMAZING

  31. HOW GREAT IS THAT

  32. Type in; Jim Humble – mms. enjoy

  33. xXTheFreakWithinXx

    Extreme sports is the catalyst that allows a adrenaline junkie to live a full life and yet Marijuana is illegal, go figure. I think everyone should live life as hard or soft as they see fit. Congrats on life on your own terms.

  34. Beginning of hoax cancer story “You are dead bro” …. End of hoax cancer story “hey man you are okay ” Quit believing these fucking Hoaxes. Look at the video for god’s sake an ADD.ESPN should go fucking die assholes for putting up this BS hoax story.

  35. Wing-suiting is at the top of my bucket list. I haven’t done it yet, but I will. My entire long life I have want to be able to fly. Being in a plane or helicopter doesn’t come near enough. I’ve done both of those things. Hang gliding – meh. I want to full on fly the way you do with a wing suit. I will do that if it kills me (ROFLMA at myself!)

  36. Keep up the Good work and the effort Avi!!

  37. Shayne Shuttleworth™

    Ya, those scumbag docs love to cut shit out and throw it away, dont they. No guarantees – no respect. Just profit for pigs.

    Consider the fact you are born into a life of reason and intelligence. That there must be some reason for all this insanity. That the pain and suffering and death also has reason. Cause.
    The Bible calls it ‘sin’.

    The Bible says this world was made with good intentions by a loving God. But that his creatures were turned against Him by Satan through a change in nature from good to evil. The Bible says that though God loves this creation He is going to destroy it and start a new evolution of life from it. That those who love sin hate God and will be destroyed, never to influence the next evolution again. But that He also provided a way out for sinners who want it, sent His Son to die in their place so that forgiveness was made possible through Him to those who recognize their sin and want forgiveness and a new start in that next evolution of life. Jesus Christ makes sense to those who are looking for answers to this insanity – if you think about it.

    Read the Bible. It is the History of the Land.

  38. God bless you buddy. 🙂

  39. He scared the shit out of his cancer and it left.

  40. maybe adrenalin is the cure? Great stuff

  41. thedrloboski stevens

    I was given a year to live 5 years ago with congestive heart failure. I fired the heart doctor, Read on line about a doctor and how he says you have to scare the hell out of your self at least once a day. He claimed natural adrenaline is the answer. 5 years latter he was right. Am not in the best shape but it sure beats where I was headed. I bought a GSX 750 Katana and did all kinds of high speed stuff to it, It does give you a scare of your life. Far as am concerned, It works.

  42. EvenStar LoveAnanda

    Chemo is way more dangerous than the wing-suite or the cancer.
    You can clear out cancer with MMS easily.
    Chemo will ruin your immune system and you become a vegetable even if you survive it.

  43. Massive amounts of vitiman C for three weeks look up the doctors and studies on youtube you will be suprised.
    1000 mg per day, wont hurt you and you have nothing to loose.

  44. ok let me see…..a colostomy and I cant jump for the next 50 yrs…….or no bag and I cant jump for 6 months…. oh hell let me die that way I miss 45 yrs and 6 months…..?

  45. I was waiting for some cunt to smash into the ground and die.title bait

  46. Way to live life.  Crazy statistics on the sport though.

  47. WOW!! incredible video !

  48. If he has an accident his beard will break his fall.

  49. drink esiac tea it cures cancer

  50. o man…that moment of the jump looking down…no chute…no tether…nothing….free

  51. remission? good news dude.. God bless…you may have found the right therapy..it’s like fuck you cancer you don’t exist as I live in this very moment

  52. Good luck man, god be with you.

  53. Hey there,,awesome sport!! You guys that have cancer,please read up on natural cures for cancer,,they work and doctors don’t tell you about them,,it’s all about the money!! Go on you tube,,us all there.Good luck and love the videos!

  54. I love it when this idiots get killed.

  55. chemo is a toxic poison that kills you if the cancer dont…cancer is bacterial and cannabis cures it…Cannabis oil.cures cancer.

  56. Lemon into lemonade, good Man.

  57. If you ever had a colostomy you thank of nothing else but getting rid of it I spent 3years 3 months and 3days with one and it was as gross as it gets even if your lucky enough to get rid of it you will dream you still have it for years it has been 35 years now and I finally stopped dreaming about it but I had Hcv for 13 years and 5 years ago I was cured now my worst nightmare is Hcv has come back. Please someone out there tell me you have worse dreams than me please before I go insane.

  58. That’s the way to fight cancer. By relegating it to a minor problem.

  59. you are in my prayers my friend. God will heal you!

  60. Thanks for sharing this! I have had cancer for 14 years and refused treatment. I do what I love which is playing worship music and I am still here.

  61. Someone needs to tell these people we can’t fly.
    Dying ain’t much of a living….sad, but predictable

    Jack

  73. I see skydive san diego

  74. longshotcharley469

    Guys that do this must not have children. If they do it’s wrong.

  75. Fly Baby Fly

  76. God bless you Sir

  77. God Bless you Sir….

  78. keep living be safe

  79. Dyin’ ain’t much of a livin’, boy.

  80. Beautiful.

  81. what a brave guy.. facing sadness everyday and making the most of life. I wish i was more like him. props to you buddy.

  82. can u take speed by running before jumping of the clift? would that that help?

  83. CLICKBAIT!!! Nobody here died by wingsuit.

  84. Former motor bike rider and skydiver here. 63 now and plan on going into my grave with a well used body. Beer bottle in one hand and chocolate bar in the other while screaming the words…..wo o o o…. e e e e….. what a ride, no regrets.

  85. Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways – Chardonnay in one hand – chocolate in the other – body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming “WOO-HOO, what a ride!!”

  86. Life is short, Break the rules, forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love
    truly.

    Laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile.

    Sing like no one is listening & dance like no one is watching.

    Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we`re here we
    should dance.

  87. Some facts to ponder

     Death is the number 1 killer in the world today.

     Life is sexually transmitted.

     Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

     Men have two emotions: hungry and horny, and they can’t tell them apart. If you see a gleam in his eyes, make him a sandwich.

     Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to use the internet and they won’t bother you for weeks, months, maybe even years.

     Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital, dying of nothing.

     All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

     In the 60’s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird, and people take Prozac to make it normal.

     Life is like a jar of jalapeno peppers. What you do today might burn your behind tomorrow.

    …and as someone recently said to me:
    Don’t worry about old age; it doesn’t last that long.

  88. There are five things that you cannot recover in life:

    (1) The Stone…after it’s thrown
    (2) The Word…after it’s said,
    (3) The Occasion…after it’s missed, and
    (4) The Time…after it’s gone.
    (5) A person…after they die

  89. The adrenaline from this sport maybe what has made his cancer go into remission ?
    We need more human trials of people with cancer doing this sport.

  90. Go placidly amid the noise and haste and remember what peace there may be in silence.
    As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

    Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story.

    Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit.

    If you compare yourself with others you may become vain and bitter;
    For always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

    Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
    Keep interested in your own career, however humble, it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals and everywhere life is full of heroisms.
    Be yourself.

    Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

    Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
    Do not distress yourself with imaginings.
    Many fears are born out of fatigue and loneliness.
    Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

    You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars;
    You have a right to be here.
    And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

    Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be.
    And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul.

    With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
    Be cheerful.
    Strive to be happy.

  91. Your opening statement is so true. I watch base jumping in awe and your story is awsome. Best of luck to you sir, I salute you!

  92. There’s something about adrenaline it seems…

  93. Something worked !! Don’t analyze it…..

  94. May might God give you health amin

  95. Daniel you’re a winner my brother !

  96. Dean Potter RIP

  97. ” I do this sport to live in the moment & make myself a better person. ” = What an idiot. Thrills & risk don’t make you a better person.

  98. You may have read this book, but I recommend it: never fear cancer again, raymond francis.
    also the Budwig protocol.

  99. FYI: Rick Simpson Oil KILLS CANCER ! ! !
    It’s too bad the American Government are just crooked crooks .

  100. licensed pilot but never jumped out.  All the power to you Daniel and as well Edward Plitt.  both of you keep looking up and fight the foes you have already proven to beat.

  101. thanks for the most wonderful pictures, that looks like great fun. enjoy your time my friend!

  102. So glad I watched this.. May the force be with you Daniel Rodriguez and Edward Plitt , you guys rock big time !! Bless you..//

  103. Good for you. Continue to do the things you enjoy. When all else fails, it makes sense to try anything.

  104. John: 14. 6. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
    If you have cancer and trying to forget about it through sport, what’s the point? You can’t fly forever it’s only for short period of time. Only Jesus Christ can give you hope, only He can give you real peace and eternal life. Yes it’s narrow path following Christ, that means there’s many things you have to get rid of, it might not be fun but you will have joy, peace and eternal life no matter what happens to you.

  105. The GOAL IS to know TRUE GOD and live by His will.
    John: 17. 3. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

  106. You go Daniel, Live Large and die well.

  107. Wow; people can be so confused. Divine Mercy; for the sake of His sorrowful passion have mercy on us and on the whole world.

  108. You Islam

  109. Find happiness my brother

  110. He still alive ?

  111. Ha! Human flight? Surely you meant human gliding, I wish we had flying suits sheesh.

  112. Hippie With A Cowboy Hat

    You rock brother ! I am completely in awe of your attitude. I wish you well.

  113. I would do same! Blue skies man!

  114. go to alkaline fruit and vegetable diet.cancer is the byproduct of eating pesticide foods.

  115. chemotherapy and radiation are more dangerous than cancer.

  116. sei il mio mito!

  117. Cancer? Try Nigella Sativa. It has a deep history of being prized as a “cure all”. Dating back to the Egyptian Pharaohs. Mohammed referred to it as, “The remedy for everything except death.” Science has also acknowledged its anti cancer properties: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3252704/

  118. It’s not flying it’s falling with style

  119. Gabriel Emanuelli

    ?????????

  120. You could always reverse your cancer actively like so many others are doing, there are loads of people currently doing it and posting there results on videos………and you could still be having fun, instead of ignoring the cancer and having fun.

  121. yes good luck ,the positivity is really important and your passion’ for this extrem sport gonna give u more forces ,u are formidable ,a girl from belgium

  122. awesome.Keep on going!

  123. These guys has balls that weighs over a ton.

  124. What the fuck kind of asshole dislikes a video like this?

  125. Darwin Award Nomination 🙂

  126. u go bro, way to beat that sh*t….

  127. Peter piper picka paaaan, Dan is the man with the plan understand. Hit that cancer with the yat yat yat yat.

  128. We did not Live if we won’t Die.

  129. P.S. you have Live more than others had! You have kicked Desath in the balls altready!

  130. You seem like an intelligent guy. If you have not as yet, change your diet. Go plant base, raw, whole food…vegan for improved quality of life and longevity!!

  131. صقور السماء نسور

    woooow

  132. “sport” lol

  133. My friend do not be a gafiline
    Their reckoning has drawn near to men, and in heedlessness are they turning aside.
    There comes not to them a new reminder from their Lord but they hear it while They play
    (Translation of the Holy Quran: Shaker Ali)

  134. Adrenaline cures everything.

  135. Shut up my balls I’m going to Fly like a Bird

  136. I hope I have the fucking balls to do this if I ever become terminally ill.

  137. i want a wing suite

  138. Inline Downhill Vancouver

    Wow, beautiful video, with a beautiful lesson.

  139. The opening scene… What type of camera was used to film it? That was amazing.

  140. Well actually skydiving is one of the safest things to do …..statistically

  141. What can I say, this fellow is right, the destination is not the goal, its how we get there. I paraglide, it is exactly how he says, no thought for fears or life outside. Just the moment, the good and bad, but almost all good. When something bad happens, it happens so fast you don’t have time to think but only react. I suffer extreme depression and anxiety. When I paraglide, it all goes away. I am who and what I should have been. Life is great. I love this man.

  142. MMS cures cancer. Look it up

  143. I have a deep admiration for people like Daniel Rodriguez who choose their own path and who reject conventional cancer treatments. “It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees”. – Emiliano Zapata

  144. Skydive San Diego. Yeah buddy

  145. Conned by Cohen.

  146. Paramoteur Paradise

    Excellent video ! A lesson of life and courage !! I am always surprised with statistics that say : BLAABLAAA, 620 people killed in B.A.S.E. and skydiving, BLAAABLAAA. When parachute jumping kills 1 person, and the same time f**** cancer kills … 100 …. minimum. EVERYBODY can be concerned by this. EVERYBODY in the world. So, if you love skydiving – B.A.S.E., why not spending good time living your Passion and sharing good moments, even if yes, you can die because of this.

  147. LOURD ☑️?✊???????✊?✊?✊?✊?✊

  148. Ming “The Merciless” invented the Wingsuit in the late thirties-early forties. Gave ol’ Flash Gordon a heck of a run for his money.

  149. I see bumper stickers with what would Eddie do? is this the real Eddie?

  150. Base jump off of half dome

  151. Flat earth

  152. Who would dislike the video?

  153. 3:15 you can’t just lump skydiving and BASE statistics together. while they may be sister sports, they have wildly different risk factors. skydiving is not a deadly sport on the same level as BASE.

  154. DEATHWISH BY WINGSUITS…………..NOT TODAY BUT SOMETIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE………….HOW MANY EXPERT WINGSUITERS HAVE DIED?? THINNING THE HUMAN HEARD ONE WINGSUIT FANATIC AT A TIME………………RIP IDIOTS !

  155. Jangkhogin Lhouvum

    Before i die i will

  156. Good luck bro… Everyone should taste the death one day…

  157. YouTube vitamin b-17 vids! Good luck!

  158. Blue skies brother!

  159. It looks like he is floating at 4:30, and not falling.

  160. it’s better to die doing what you love them live doing nothing with your life…

  161. don’t worry we all eventually die???
