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.
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.
Great video really. thank you for sharing
He oughta take it a little easy. He may be the best bush pilot this side of Mos Eisley, but those little wingsuits are dangerous. Keep it up, one day...Whamo...he could end up a dark spot on the downside of a canyon wall.
It is only a matter of time before one of these guys successfully lands on water/without a parachute.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 Ummm, how can it be done? How can a wingsuit pilot slow his speed down enough to not die or get seriously effed up?
The back flying was insane and awesome.
fly by the back is the way to go
well accident does happen dude
ditto the whole exercise. what balls!
He kept flying and flying and flying.... so did the cameraman, give him some applause too😂
There is no cameraman. Someone just trow the camera really hard after the guy.
Keeping all the jokes aside, the cameraman was at a relatively higher elevation throughout the course of that glide.
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….
Bruh
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.
Hooptie Hamburger
Have a go at this one... czcams.com/video/kTzwvyzzfjk/video.html
This is the first one I have watched!
@@zwigoma2, thanks. That one is great too.
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.
escaped the zombie only to die by rock impact. I dunno which is better
That seems to me like an excellent horror movie
R.I.P
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!
If it's the same one I saw, they listed 25 people who died in just that one year doing this. Quite sobering.
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!
@@ianrobinson8974 ordinary parachuting is perfectly safe ... this is a totally different kettle of fish
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.
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.
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.
...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.
lol
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.
Mother nature enjoys being enjoyed, but hates being trolled.
@@justdev8965 Which category does this fall into LoL. If we were never made to fly are we trolling her?
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??? Those fuckers die all the time. .... Nevermind!
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.
Going to give that a go, thanks for the tip!
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!
God speed. Now go watch The Orville! Alll night.... allllll night!
His GoPro got WAAY to close to the blades for comfort
very beautiful video. I watched few of his jumpling videos but your narration adds so much more
Incredible flight, congratulations the best I have seen in my whole life!
Love the Jetson sound effect at the beginning! 🤣🤣 How appropriate!
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
Literally skimming the earth!😱
Amazing!
Absolutely amazing scenes 👍
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.
yes i was very fortunate he had 2 types of footage, of the same flight, POV head cam and a cameraman flying behind him. gave great visuals of the flights.
Beautiful flight
This fascinates me ! How I would love to experience something like this !
Wow...what a great video. Thanks.
Excellent commentary, thanks. (Pretty good flying too).
This guys AWESOME! I've ALWAYS wanted to do this
You are amazing guys.
That was beautiful..
I really want to do this at least once before I go.
Youre channel is about to explode in subbs. Youre videos are an amazing white pill and a nice break from all the other stufg
Stunning.
What a rush. I mean, what a rush that must be. Subscribed.
Must feel awesome, Respect.
Absolute Legend..

just crazy but awesome !
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 world.....Even superman will get chills watching this wingsuit jumping videos...
So freakn awesome i love it.
Just crazy fantastic.
Beautiful video, adrenaline pumping.
Nice Flight!
It’s amazing!
So cool.
Wowwwww!!! Unbelievable. Awesome
Well done thanks for the informative interview, describing the details behind this feat.
you are welcome :)
that was amazing! I must try this, I don't have a suit tho but I'm going!
Wait. Hold up. Something ain't right
Don't jump you have so much to live for
Wow this looks real fun - I am going to hire a wingsuit and try this. I can't wait
RIP.....
This is one of the most impressive things I've ever seen
No it's not
@@tezzingtonsir28 ok cool guy you do it then and post a vid
Amazing👍👍👍
Very cool!
Finally someone getting these questions answerd. I’ve been wondering about this forever. Thank you!
part of the reason i started this channel was to ask & answer questions I have wondered about for years.
@@WonderWorldYTC Didn't even realize. That got you a sub :)
This looks fun.
Sik. Man are you guys awesome.
That’s one brave man.
Few more vidios I be ready !!zoom zoom !!💋👍
Brendon is the man
nice thank you
Brilliant
High Risk, High Reward. What he's doing is absolutely terrifying. It's easy for us to label him as some sort of stupid person but he's not doing it just to draw attention. He's doing it because he loves the feeling that comes with it. Sure, certain death is the price, but that is the price he is willing to pay to look at some of the world's breathtaking scenery and feel the breathtaking feeling of what it feels like to have wings and fly.
amazing
Love in air
Massive shout out to the camera guy keeping up
So COOL
Pleasantly surprised to Google his name and see that he is still alive.
My heart is beating when I watch the video🤣
Upside down..... Seriously! He has a Metal ♥!
the camera is also amazing - 2:08 - invisible!
My thought exactly....did they photoshop the mount out of the shot?
It's a 360° camera...designed to automatically edit out the stick during filming
This has to be one of the most amazing feelings in the world!! I wish so bad I could do this. The feeling of feeling unbelievably alive far outweighs the risk in my opinion. Don't know that I'd get that close to the ground, but DAMN I want to do this!
Do it! Please film it and entertain us for 30 seconds. It'll only cost you eternity.
Awesome
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.
I am very sorry for your family. People need to wake up that this is an adrenaline addiction and stop glorifying this nonsense.
@@kennethfharkin If it could be done safely, I would not mind but that young man was only 32! He died recklessly doing this and no one could tell him otherwise. It is truly an addiction that will kill eventually. They all die tragically this way. There are few old wingsuit people alive unless they quit cold turkey and live.
@@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.
Very Cool, but I'm not using this airline when I go on holiday!!! If I was still in my Twenties I'd have a go at this!!!!! Incredible!!!!!!!!
where did he land and how did he land. and you Brendan. superhuman well done. Fantastic.
Big opening at the end and by parachute, still need one to not die haha
WOW...amazing, totally badass...I wish I had the spirit to be this ballsy...
" I wish I had the spirit to be this ballsy..."
man u r too brave,,, i need spirit every time i click PROXIMITY FLYING
SICK !!! 👍👍👍
I don't know what to say but I respect you much
INSANEEEEE 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Spectacular. Thanks for the upload. Good questions too.
If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail - true for almost everything
wonderful :)
Great
What body movement/positioning does the flyer deploy to get maximum lift when flying at maximum speed?
Super
Great story, loved it!
Невероятно ! Какие же смелые Икары !
Dude, you answered the question I have always wondered......Can you get lift from a wingsuit. Thanks so much. Wanted to know that for years now
Yup, its called pitching, or flairing, they usually do it right before pulling the chute to slow down thier horizontal speed. There is a an awesome video out there, i will link it below, but the guy jumps a tracksuit and does proximity flying and the tracksuit has no ability to pitch.
czcams.com/video/6L82vhtqh2M/video.html
This is definately the most awesome proximity flying video I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot, can you tell me of others ?
I try not to do multiple videos on 1 topic, as there are so many interesting stories out there.
Flying upside down. Ummm sounds like somebody is having a hard time finding easier ways to die.
Wow a wingsuit video where the guy is still alive!
This just makes me admire human beings!! Yes!!
woow ...... so coolt
Adrenaline junky!
Congrats
Impressive
Congrats to the camera man!
Wow
Great video
2:08 we pretty much always flied at at least 100feet above the ground and we wear GPS devices, so we can check for certain just how accurate a topographic map of the area is.........
Balls of steel
Balls of steel, brain of candy floss.
I can see this coming to a Bond movie very soon ! I am reluctant to call this a stunt because it is not ! It's a very calculated gliding flight of awesome proportions !
Good job fair
Muito show 🇧🇷
Good..
Original 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💓✌🏻
Very nice flying, going to get one and jump watch it 4 times pro ..let's anyone?
Incrediably Exhillarating. Eye Candy for the brain and Spirit.
