IMO, he's an idiot. Doing this with his wife and small daughter looking (as I read it). I wanted to try a jump (with chute), but as soon as I had kids, I discovered I didn't want that anymore. I call it responsibility and maturity (you guys feel free to call it something else;-) Cheers Erik |

He was game, turning over at the last minute and not being able to see the net  That took alot of courage/confidence  I wonder if he (or how many times) he was tempted to use the chute? I wonder how many trial jumps he did previously before the money shot? big kahunas... that's for sure

Oh, he had a chute for an emergency? Not that much of an idiot after all.... Cheers Erik |

Well, his back looks awful flat... like the stunt men use on movies... like on James Bond (roger moore) when he and the guy with steel teeth (jaws) fell out of a plane with only one parachute.... the big guy ended up landing on a circus tent an lived  I could be wrong, but it sure looks like a bump in his suit similar to a stunt man chute? I would say it is ILLEGAL to jump out of a plane without a chute... they wouldn't let him do it (sponsors) so he wore the concealed chute, with no intention of using it.... but at least he had it.... I bet if he wasn't going to make the target, he would have been glad to have it You can see the charactors have a chute built into the actual dress suit |

Ah yes.... but that wasn't on purpose, that was just good luck from bad luck I saw an interview with him long ago on tv... he said he could remember falling and seeing the stars under his feet He did break his leg tho.... from the fall thru the fur trees into the snow I find the other one hard to believe, just the fall from the roof of the station would have killed him....

Here is another one... this one a wing suit flyer landing on water without using his chute... I am not so sure this is real... you only see him touch down from the side and only for a split second... easily manipulated I would like to have seen some more camera angles with no breaks in the video then I would believe it more... what do you reckon? Fake or real? Possible or not?  I am undecided based on the footage provided? Some video from land or a boat would be more convincing... Edit: At the last seconds before touchdown there is some crazy editing... it goes from nearly on the water from the side, to looking down on him on approach again, to him nearly at the water again, to just looking down at 3 lights in the water to really blurry side on as he hits the water... to really clear as he slows down...... If it were real, they would just show it without the suspicious editing right at the crucial moments? Maybe he did do it and had to go to hospital, so all his celebrating at the end was filmed 6 weeks later when he got out of hospital after coming out of the coma? I think fake.... His suit doesn't look to be puffed up with air, he doesn't appear to be going fast enough... I have seen some wing suit fly bys and they are going like rockets.... he might have been shot out of a cannon like at the side show... but a flying wing suit has form at the back, because of the air under it.... that had none. Just after the guy says 30 seconds to landing get ready to pause.... look at the weird editing? Suspicious?? |
