There was even a lower pull in the past. From Yuri:

"The ultimate wingsuit low pull award belongs to Den. He nearly landed a wingsuit a couple of years ago, impacting at line stretch with his slider still stowed in a C-line rubberband. If you have a chance, ask Den to show an impressive Terminator-style x-ray of his titanium lower back.

The only way to beat this is to land a suit without a scratch ;-)"

thats crazy, I cant imagine what went through his head when he finally pitched.



Well it was almost his butt going through his head. :P That is just flat out crazy/stupid. Above someone tried to guess the height and it was figured at like 85' for opening.... Or something like that

That is one incredibly lucky individual IMO. I am sure he laid there on the ground for a moment making sure everything still worked as he landed like a rock. I think that, as well as Loic's mountain swoop, is probably the closest thing you can refer to for reference on why landing a wingsuit without injury won't happen anytime soon or unaided.

Once again: jumper is ok, not a scratch. Enjoy!



Man, that is some crazy shit. I can't believe how much forward speed he still has when he hits the ground. A lot of people have been really badly hurt or died from lesser impacts... That is one lucky mofo. :SB|

The jumper in question did not pull that low on purpose, apparently, he had trouble with his hackey. So you can't really call him an idiot.[/replAy]

At what altitude did he INTEND to deploy? I can't imagine him searching for the hackey for 30 seconds (from 3000 feet). Or was it a hard pull?
