Start with just a simple tandem skydive, with an instructor. Then, after the most amazing experience of your life doing that, then you'll have a partial understanding of why wingsuiters do what they do. I'm not a wingsuiter, but I am a skydiver.

I used to work with a guy who did this regularly. He was very quiet and smart but always liked talking about his love for skydiving and wingsuiting. I thought he was nuts.
Someone had to invent and test this idea out. It would be interesting to see a video on how this went from a crazy idea in someone's head to an actual product that someone could use to jump off a cliff.
From Wikipedia: "An early attempt at wingsuit flying was made on 4 February 1912 by a 33-year-old tailor, Franz Reichelt, who jumped from the Eiffel Tower to test his invention of a combination of parachute and wing, which was similar to modern wingsuits. He misled the guards by saying that the experiment was going to be conducted with a dummy. He hesitated quite a long time before he jumped, and died when he hit the ground head first, opening a measurable hole in the frozen ground"
Weirdly, my best guess is that one would have to do many many jumps from a plane, to be familiar enough with the wingsuit to safely make a cliff jump like this.
...'safely make a cliff jump'.... there is no safety, even in experience. Ask the inventors/pioneers of the sport. And i say that, because of course, they're all dead.
I love the way half the video is this guy breathing, focusing - realisation that this could be it............fantastic stuff- he beholds a great spirit
Looks good and may inspire other young fellows to try it. However, a word of caution: it is very dangerous. A friend of mine recently lost his only son, who was diving in his wingsuit and hit a rock.
Imagine the strength and stamina needed to hold your arms out like that and keep them there for the length of time it took to find a safe place to land. Amazing, I wish I was, skilled, fit and brave enough to do things like this
@BITCHESANDTHOTS98 actually the resistance would be bending back your arms, you would need a sufficient amount of strength to hold them in place against the resistance. learn yourself something kiddo.
This is an amazing video, but it would even be more incredibly amazing if a camera was affixed to the chest or the helmet of the skydiving individual, to see their perspective and view of what they see when they jump off the cliff.
No, they have simply awoken from the Zombie state and live in the moment. Most people are overly concerned with safety because they want to live long lives to experience the things they are too afraid to do because it might kill them. See the problem with that?

That must be the most thrilling, most exciting feeling ever to be able to glide thru the air like that. If you can overcome the sheer terror of jumping off the side of a cliff. I don't think I'd ever have the balls to do that
i mean, thats a reasonable thing to be afraid of. Most of the wingsuit videos on youtube seem to have comments talking about the tragic demise of the dude that was wingsuiting in the video, so unless you want to die before you're 30, there are other hobbies that might be better to look into.

Psychopaths are incapable of feeling the fear that you and I feel when our brain knows out life is in danger. Even if a lion pounces at a psychopath, they can't feel fear. Instead, when a psychopath's life is in danger or directly threatened (like falling off a massive cliff on accident), they feel exhilarated. Same is true if someone points a gun at their head, although they do know it's know it's not a good thing, they can't feel the feeling you and I know as fear (or anxiety). They are calm in the most dangerous situations.

You never know how alive you are untill you gamble with death! This is AWESOME!!
Man-o-man! I don't know what to say about that, boy! Crazy 🤣🤣
That is the strangest looking sugar glider I ever saw.
To fly like that. Feeling everything without a machine around you. I don’t think anything would be able to top that. Well done, men!! 🤩👏👏👏🤯
I would love to learn how to do this. It’d be something spiritual, I believe.
I love how he double check to see if his parachute is here
He was rehearsing its deployment
Ja. Det er viktig.
It may be a diaper for when he might craps his pants.
@@mesquitoful you spoke norwegian wright??
It looks like german
@@pathcrosser8210 The written languages are quite similar, yes. It is Norwegian, yes
He says "Yes, it is important" / in German "Ja, das ist wichtig".
My god the initial jump waiting for the wind to catch under the wings would be terrifying
Time to fly
Wind: I'm gonna end this man's career
Looks like that crazy coyote from the Looneytunes cartoon, with his wingsuit.
Haaa! Surprised it doesn't say ACME on the back. Lol! BEEP BEEP!!!
Lmao. Yes. Except he would have went head first into the road
Mad! There always must be a first time when you jump and all you know is the theory about how it should work. Scary!
It takes A LOT of training.
What you are seeing here is only the tip of the iceberg. The years of training , thousands of skydives from airplane, hundreds wind tunnel hours etc etc are the base for this.
You don't have to be crazy to do this, but it helps. LOL.
Oh my. More courage than I have mustered in my entire life. Did I mention I'm afraid of heights, and I suffer from vertigo? I could not do this if you paid me a million dollars.
It’s safer to sit home and watch CZcams and slowly have your arteries clog and heart fail.

So? I think he knows what he’s doing
You couldn't pay me a billion to do that. Cool asf tho
I wonder if subconsciously they have some kind of death wish, rather like compulsive gamblers who secretly want to lose because of a deep-down self-loathing and unhappiness.
@@martydav9475 do you have a gambling problem marty?
I would pay a billion to do that in my case
@@justinm2434 No I'm not a gambler, but my dad was - sometimes lost all his pay - and my brother has been.(Apologies for not replying sooner, I've only just seen your post.)
@@martydav9475 sorry bud it was meant to be a joke but I've been there before and it isn't funny when you're addicted to giving all your money away. Best of luck to you and your family
The man is like- i believe i can fly...☠️
I have wake up from rise against the machine in my head watching this
