I think it's good for people (especially teens who think danger is fake) to see just how dangerous that really is. He's got some killer videos, but so much could go so wrong so quickly. I hope he heals quickly.

Wow, just his ability to recover that in midair seems almost superhuman.

Wow.
Yeah, his ability to focus on pulling the ripcord after that is pretty amazing.

wow that camera guy has like 10 GoPros on his body. and I bet that was a lot scarier in the eyes of the jumper that hit, rather than what was caught on film! ... err or video? i guess it's not technically "film" anymore...

I'd love to see the first-person footage of the jumper.

You have a wingsuit?
I think there are a few different angles shot on Youtube, the helmetcam just showed it the best. There was one shot from the landing zone, and one from close to the ledge he hit, IIRC...
He almost decided not to pull the cord, but finally did. Hope I never have to make a decision like that. Hey Unstuck, don't sweat extreme events like that wingsuit flight. Few things in life better than a freefall and smooth landing. After my back injury last summer, skydiving is forever out of my plans. My last jump was 19 years ago.

Here is a link to the full video with a bunch of different views. Looks like he pulled his cord just seconds before it was too late.
