This is Brendan Weinstein, a 27 yr old wingsuit pilot. Brendan and his team spent 2 weeks planning this flight down the Mettelhorn in Randa, Switzerland.
When I came across this video, I was so captivated at how dangerous and amazing it looked. So I got in contact with Brendan and interviewed him about this video, and asked him all about this flight.
Brendan runs the company BaseBeta which is dedicated to serving base jumpers, and has done roughly 1200 wingsuit flights, 700 base jumps, and 800 skydives. And spent weeks planning this flight with fellow jumpers.
Thanks for watching

★★★ *FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE VIDEO / FACT UPDATES* ★★★ *1) How does the camera work looking back at him? I don’t see it attached* - The name of the camera he used was the GoPro Fusion 360 with a selfie stick. which removes the stick or makes it invisible.

@Allan_aka_RocKITEman 3 года назад

The camera has two lenses looking in opposite directions, and the images caught by the lenses overlap where the camera's handle is located. That overlap {digitally removes} the image of the handle.

This is absolutely insane. The fact that this guy is 27 and has 1200 wingsuit flights almost blows my mind. To put it into perspective, if he did one jump a week it would take him 23 years. Not to mention the risk factor I do some stuff that people might consider dangerous, but this is on another level. My respect

@MJ-zo5gb Год назад

I don’t think you could open the chute that close to the ground for most of the flight, so he was committed to the route. I Could be wrong; Maybe at certain points he could’ve pulled up enough to open the chute….

@TheWilsonk99 3 года назад

...right with you bro! I was in the attic throwing rope. Suitcases, old curtains and scrap cloth, sewing machine, French language Primer, then I paused to catch my breath....and from the kitchen (where l my phone) ...I caught the last part of the sentence , he says, ì would say don't try this at home... and all a sudden a rung on the ladder breaks - so I don't hear further. And don't really care, because I'm sure I've broken something. And ì admit to crying some when I didn't feel like my so called loved ones weren't paying enough attention. In the end I decided attention was what I really wanted, and I seemed to be in good shape where that's concerned. There's a moral here, somewhere, wingman.... come see me sometime and we can talk it out over beer with the guys.

I watched a wingsuit video just like this a while back, and after the video there was a “dedicated to all those who’ve died from wingsuit accidents” and the long list of names that followed, I can only compare to the end cast credit of a Hollywood movie! 😳 😯😱... don’t be deceived by the thrill of this video, these guys die like flies of which you hear nothing about!

Yeh, I know the story. In the 1960's I gave away parachuting after a whole 3 jumps as the #2 in the world had to land on his reserve and the #1 female diver in Australia died after falling into the sea. That was enough for me to feel the risk factor was just too big!

@thechumpsbeendumped.7797 2 года назад

I love watching these amazing flights and wonder if I’d have the balls to do it, if I were younger and had the finances to afford to do it. The death rate is approx 0.2%, that may not sound high to some but if you compare it to other sports it’s very high. Its a sport that on average the expiry rate is 1/500 flights. The only sport that I think comes close would be F1 in the 50’s and 60’s.

@topgeardel 2 года назад

They probably die like flies b/c they think they have to push the "envelope" of proximity to terrain. The wingsuit proves people can fly at least to a certain altitude. It's not the art itself at fault.

@PaperDragons 5 лет назад

If you have not tried this yet in VR I suggest you give it a shot. Truly an amazing sport. Even on the cheap cardboard VR viewers, this takes your breath away. Cant imagine doing it for real.

as far as I understand it thats why they fly pretty high up still.. the videos always make it look like they are touching the terrain but they arent they are sometimes even higher than 100ft.. a gust of wind would send them maybe 80 feet down tops id imagine and they could probably...... wait what am i even talking about???

@@WhiteDragon689 also, it is the adrenaline rush of being in proximity to the ground which causes the high they get. In order to get that same high they must push it closer and closer to the ground, cliff face, etc. Eventually they fail to make a single microsecond decision and die from it. The lack of safety is exactly what drives the addiction. Watch the special I linked.
