Skimming The Earth in a Wingsuit

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.

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

This is the best wingsuit video I have found, and I have been adding them to my playlists for a decade.

The back flying was insane and awesome.

[nordlyssrlys]

He kept flying and flying and flying.... so did the cameraman, give him some applause too😂

I'm at 52 skydives right now. My goal is to eventually work my way up to Wingsuit BASE, but I don't think I'll ever do proximity flying. The margin for error is just to slim. No matter how well trained/prepared you are, mother nature has a mind of her own. All it takes is a small gust at the wrong time to send you in. Props to that guy though, he's living the dream.

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.

Imagine being stuck in a small town on the top of the mountain full of zombies and getting away from that situation with the wing suit on jumping off the moutain. What an amazing feeling it would be knowing you escaped danger flying off the mountain like this.

This is witness of how amazing humans are & what a very, very few are capable of and willing to try! Hats off to them & God Bless!

[calsouth]

His GoPro got WAAY to close to the blades for comfort

[savyamba]

Wow, Awesome video. Balls of fire eagle with nerves of steel I guess. You guys are also very lucky.., Mother nature been very kind to you team. Glad you guys lived your dreams. Hats Off

[garyfuzz]

Glad I listened right to end for the safety talk.There was me ready to head into the attic to get the double blow up mattress and start fashioning it with a pair of scissors.

[danbaxter]

Pleasantly surprised to Google his name and see that he is still alive.

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!

“We made sure we were at least 100 feet above the ground...” Maury says that’s a lie

[WhiteDragon]

My wife's nephew, Dennis Valdez 32, was killed in Switzerland doing this same reckless thing. This is not living, this is wishing to die every single time it is done.

[RadkillRaccn]

That looks like a lot of fun. Just getting to see a mountain from the perspective of flying down it is a pretty cool trip.

[gracebelho]

I'm so trying this....
I'm so wingsuit jumping from my 8ft roof top....
Stop me if you can...
This is the coolest things in the superman will get chills watching this wingsuit jumping videos...

[petermaier]

Incredible flight, congratulations the best I have seen in my whole life!
