Incredible Base Jump off Norwegian Cliffs | Wild Scandinavia | BBC Earth Science 

a storey high is all I'm capable of :(

Sure. Will you pay for the plane ticket, training and gear?

nah..... under water ok.... the air....i would send a drone😁

YESSSS... And I would want her to teach it to me.

Yes. I absolute would. Looks amazing. Just the footage FEELS amazing. Thank you for sharing. How do I get involved?

Really yes!

BRO WHO EVEN ARE U 😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

most of the time, hiking

You can hike to the cliff or take a helicopter during the annual event there but you need a boat or helicopter to get back to the town near by.

yeah me too the also i had the same close experience, but then i woke up and felt out of the bed

Most don't actually, the vast majority continue to jump very frequently free of any incidents at all. You can do the math quite simply using the base fatality website vs. the total number of jumpers world wide. It's a very small minority of unfortunate people that either make a bad decision or miscalculation. There 10's of thousands of jumpers world wide and only 469 fatalities to date so far. It's a shame the world focuses on only the fatalities when there literally 100's of thousands of successful jumps evety year.

@@alistairclark6814do these jumpers has a parachute in case something bad happens?

@@cursory9031 Do you mean a secondary parachute? They all have only one parachute. Typically base jumping accidents don't occure from parachute malfunction, they occur from bad decision making, like flying too low into terrain without enough speed or jumping difficult cliffs without enough experience. If a parachute malfunctions, the person didn't pack it properly or they didn't use it properly. People quite often pull too low in panic or pull too close to a cliff while off balance causing line twists and off heading openings. Parachutes don't mysteriously malfunction, they are very, very basic peices of equipment. If someone ties their shoe laces and they come undone then they trip over them, do you call it a shoe malfunction or do you blame them for not tying them properly? P.S. I have been jumping for 14 years. It isn't luck.

@@alistairclark6814that’s sick dude keep doing what ya love

@@johnnydepp7045 Thanks Johnny Depp! Will do. You too. 🤘

Hate to say it but only people making bad decisions and poor packing are dying in this sport. Most of the fatalities were preventable. The reason why so many have died is because the sport is really new.

​@@steveroman3729Would you count flying close to objects as a bad decision then? Because those proximity flights are a real thing, and are super risky

The memorial stone at Troll Wall have 50-50 with rock climbers and BASE jumpers on it. The introduction of wingsuit have made BASE jumps off cliffs safer. BASE jumping in Troll Wall was banned in 1987. We have considered lifting this ban, but the ban stay because Troll Wall is a no-fly zone for helicopters. You are allowed to jump elsewhere, there is a helicopter on standby for rescue. However, they not allowed to fly near Troll Wall because of the constant rock fall there.

Short life

That is an incredibly inacurate statistic. There have only been 469 fatalities in total and 100's of thousands of jumps. I personally know jumpers with over 4000 jumps that are still flying. I have been flying wingsuits from mountains since 2010, I don't keep track of my jumps.

Optical illusion.

Tiny light droplets of water get slowed down pretty hard when falling (like throwing a ping-pong ball VS a tennis ball). A human falls much faster. A quick Google says a wingsuit can manage to slow down a fall to only slightly faster than falling water.

for biggest wingsuit, falling rate is around 70-90 km/h

Why are you surprised? The terminal velocity of water is around 20 mph. Humans can exceed 200.

​@@axelhours70-90 is the slowest airspeed I can fly with vertical drop rate of around 30km/hour.

Literally one of most dangerous activites in the world. People die A LOT.

@@MuthafuckinPuddings Not really, many of the deaths were avoidable, technology has made the sport a lot safer. Quit fear mongering.

Hege Ringard.

Yep that’s the risk they take they know they can die but the buzz, Adrenaline they get from jumping keeps them coming back for more

My experience with adrenaline junkies, is that they are unreasonable, but they can be highly intelligent . Me Retired US Navy test pilot. Now let that sink in.

we are not « adrenaline junkies », the adrenaline shoot came with the first jumps, when you learn. When I jump and fly, I don’t have this adrenaline shot, I (we) just love being in the air and fly by our own. BASE its dangerous, yep everybody knows, but it dépends of you practice (experience, self assessment of your capabilities, commitment,…). There is a large part of « old » base jumpers who have been doing this for 10-15-20 years and still doing it. For the stat, number of practicing have significantly increased, so accident too. But coaching makes the sport more responsible

@@raywhitehead730 let what sink in?

Explain the lore

What?
