Wingsuit Landing

Recommended Posts

Tough Russian f*ckers are giving Jeb and his WS landing a run for his money. No multi-million dollar ramp either.
Impacting from 160 meters without a canopy, and walking away from it (okay...give it a few months for the walking part). But Danngggg

160m powerline tower. Front loop, stowed, pulled too soon (standing up) and into crosswind, bridle went under arm and remained there till impact. Container opened, but nothing inflated, lines still stowed in the rubber band on a tailpocket. Hit soft deep snow at 7 seconds.

Unconscious for 2 minutes. Broken back and other lesser injuries. Presently in the hospital, speaking to his friends on the phone.



*edit* had to remove link to the thread on the other forum, as the advertising/linking doesnt allow for the use of the word basejumper without turning it into a link. So linking to the correct thread is impossible..:S[:/]

With people trying (or at least talking about) landing wingsuits and not succeeding, and this guy managing without, doesnt seem to out of place here does it:P:P



He got no wings and forward speed either.

Ask BASE jumpers if they want to land without a canopy.
-Morron?

Ask skydivers if than want to land a wing suite without a canopy.
-Cool????
