Yeah, some people really get off on that kind of rush. They chase it. Wingsuit jumping is already insanely dangerous, but doing it at night, in snowy conditions, and what looked like damn near proximity flying is just fucking crazy lol.
I always check out this website every few months. You can really deep dive into every crash and the lives taken. It’s absolutely haunting.

It seems like the leading cause of death among individuals on this list is "Earth impact". If someone could just solve for that, we could save so many lives.
•
u/PerennialPhilosopher 4h ago
Douglas Adams already solved that one: aim for the ground and miss.

He also demolished planet Earth so the risk of collision is much lower now.

Archemedes solved it even earlier "give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it and i shall move the world"

Damn I just read the list and realized most of these poor buggers are my age and have not the dust... literally... makes me rethink my life choices.

Wing suit alone is in solid "fuck that" territory.
Having fire next to the wingsuit makes it more like the daily double of "fuck that."

Yeah I’m sure that’s not bad luck at all to pair a flying video with a Lynyrd Skynyrd song.

Base jumping has something like a 99% chance of death with every 1000 hours spent doing it. Statistically speaking. So you're not too far off in your expectations.
Edit: corrected skydiving to base jumping. That was what i meant.
•
u/starmartyr 5h ago
Skydiving has a very low fatality rate with proper safety checks and good conditions. This isn't skydiving. It's basejumping which is extremely dangerous under the best conditions.
•
u/Kooky_Attention_98 5h ago
It is 100% at nighttime with very minimum light and presumably an indefinite landing area? (Assuming the landing area isn't getting misted by a tree or cliffside)
•
u/pseudoportmanteau 5h ago
Yeah, he was probably more likely to die than not lol so in that sense, it's a cool video.

u/FranzFerdinand51 2h ago
Did anyone actually think they HAVE TO base jump or are you just talking shite?
Obviously its a choice adults are free to make, nothing else.

Honestly this is so cool. Must feel amazing, incredibly stupid and dangerous, but amazingly fun. Death wouldn’t even be the worst of it though, having to live with whatever debilitating injury you got from it if something goes wrong would.
•
u/Total_Way_6134 5h ago
The good news is, if anything goes wrong you die so… no life long debilitating injuries or recovery required

Now that is bad ass. Great song choice for it too.

I already knew it was Free Bird before I unmuted it so it's just really a typical song choice at this point

It’s wild that someone is actually doing this, while many of us just chill in the couch. That always fascinates me

What was with that part near the end where he appeared to spin around and almost "stand up?" -that was wild. Maybe when I'm 80 I'll try.

Just imagine being in that situation and the flare accidentally catches the wingsuit on fire. You watch in horror as the suit gets smaller with each passing second.

Just when I thought BASE jumping couldn't get any riskier, they go and pull a stunt like this 🤯

So base jumping wing suiting is already dangerous as shit in regular conditions so let’s light ourselves on fire and do it at night and during a snowstorm. I mean WTF? Who’s gonna be the first person to fly a wing suit into a tornado?

Yes but if they get hooked on to the adrenaline rush it ends badly like always- Keep testing limits eventually until something breaks.
•
u/nikulmmadhu 5h ago
yes but they are alive and present. you cant spend your whole life worrying about what might go wrong
