Here’s a compilation of wingsuit “proximity flying” from around the world, base jumps, also from planes and helicopters, some very high altitude. Mountains, flying through waterfalls, etc. Urban, between skyscrapers, past the giant statue of Christ in Rio.

It’s got to be one of the most exhilarating experiences imaginable, but I have no idea how anyone learns to do this without killing themselves. From the looks of the names scrolling in the memorial the end, the fatality rate is high.

But, wow. If I were half my age I’d be very tempted.

Yup. But one of those guys hit a cliff about 6 months ago (just a blurb - not the same guys, of course) and he had to be identified by DNA, there was nothing larger left...
