Aerial death wish..... video of wingsuit base jump

Freaking crazy! There was one part of the video that looked fake...but I think it's real.

I love the comments on the page.
Funny stuff.

Thrills aplenty, but isn’t this a little beyond the normal limit for a daredevil? When one of these guys dies are his friends and family going to call it a “tragic” accident, something that no one could foresee?

Is his girlfriend going to say, “one moment Bjorn’s here, talking and laughing and jumping off of cliffs in a wingsuit and the next thing you know he’s in three pieces on the side of a mountain…we’re all in shock…”

Freaking crazy is right. Now way, no how and no chance I would ever do that. Kinda brings adrenaline junky to a different level.

And people tell me I am crazy, sorry but with my knowledge of flying ect, all it would take is a wind sheer of the smallest amount and these guys would kiss the wall of that cliff. No thanks .. But it does look cool...

I love this guy's site but he's not for the faint of heart, easily offended, folks with little to no sense of humor and those who don't appreciate the female form in very little clothing....so browse the main site with caution. I merely posted the one page because of the amazing video.

IN mountain ranges like that winds are so unpredictable we avoid flying powered aircraft in them if possible, for that very reason. But hey it does continue to spark the adrenaline junkie in me.

Exactly! Why I thought at first it had to be fake. Should any one of 'em make contact with Earth, they'd end up looking like the graveyard that is my windshield...

Did you read Small Town Girl's comment?

Yeah I read the comment, although these days trying her advice can be just as dangerous as well....jumping off a cliff lol.

Incredible video,,,I read about these wingsuits and how manueverable they are. Not that I'd ever do something bat$hit crazy like that,,besides, there'd be so much dookie in that flight suit it would cause extreme flight fluctuations that it would cause control problems not to mention chafing!

Why do they bother wearing a helmet? It won't help them if/when they make contact with terra firma.
