I didn't expect people to be so up tight about what this guy does. I don't fly a wingsuit, but when I see the guys that do (succesfully!!), I feel nothing but awe and envy for what they do on a daily basis.
Braindead? No. A good brain is a requirement I'd say. They plan their routes, don't just fling themselves of cliffs. Not just that, but the level of concentration required to constantly adjust your flightpath travelling at such high speed and proximity to solid rock is huge.
It can't be about wanting to die, or hating life. Otherwise, they'd jump without the parachute.
