WHY would you want to do it? :shock:

..but above all, they must have done it all with no insurance involvement whatsoever, nobody would ever insure insanity.

Next time, he plans to use only 12 boxes to land on. That is skill.

Guy taking a calculated risk for his own enjoyment and fame vs slaves being forced to kill and maim each other for others enjoyment.

Oh ... its a wingsuit.

People have been working on various ways to land a wingsuit without using a chute for the final descent for 10 years or more.

The real issue is the stall speed is too high, so you either need:
- to land up the side of a steep mountain
- fit an undercarriage
- have something catch you.

Good to see someone has pulled it off. Not a particularly practical landing method but its a start.
