Apologies if previously posted, I couldn't find it but have no doubt somebody will :-)

Think this is the right place as it's flying related, probably wrong there as well :-)

Indeed it does have seen a similar vid before, but that one was better quality

It looks like the margin for error is err, shall we say, extremely fine....

Yes but on the other side the outcome of any error will be either red splodge or close shave

Saw him on a documentary a while ago. The bloke is a loon, he was, if I remember, quite literally suicidal for a bit before he took up "proximity wingsuit flying". A mate of his had a bit of an "issue" with a bridge. It made a bit of a mess...

Great footage though, especially around the 2:30 mark. Fook me.

Well, if it was someone from the Samaritans who suggested he take up extreme meat-bombing (as the bomb) to cheer himself up a bit, there might be some quality-control issues for Samaritan HQ to look into.

The alpine shots were used in something I saw a couple of months ago about climbing, I'm sure.

I'm amazed at the navigation skills - and at the advertbot that's trying to sell me ladies' jumpsuits off the page...

Mental.

How does he go from '30 degree dive at 150mph' to 'Landing'? If he flies into a closed valley it's curtains.

Stunning. Incredible footage, especially the last 5 seconds !

Balls of steel.

I saw that aswell, pretty mental what happened to his mate and the bridge, not nice!

The guy is just pure mental, i commend him for doing something my brain would not let me do, there's jumping out of a perfectly serviceable aircraft, but to then aim at a statue or waterfall and think it'd be fun, mental, absolutely positively mental
