After the first bump I'm sure she was pretty winded, yet still had to try and maintain some control to avoid further twisting, and nosediving to the ground. I think she came out of it the best she could.
On 16 February 1990, while being filmed by a TV crew for the French programme Ushuaïa, le magazine de l'extrême, Boivin made a c. 1,000 m (3,300 ft) BASE jump down Angel Falls in Venezuela, the highest waterfall in the world. This was the first jump from the highest point of the falls.[12] The following day he decided to repeat the jump. Just before he leapt off, a woman named "Catherine"[18] jumped and was injured at the foot of the falls. Boivin decided to make his jump immediately afterwards, carrying help for the injured woman. According to one account, on his descent he hit a tree and was seriously injured with multiple fractures.[3] He told the helicopter team that came to rescue him to attend to the injured woman first. Another account, by a witness, maintains that Boivin hit the cliff, landed in the tree-tops, and that the helicopter team thought that his waving was a sign that he was not injured, rather than an attempt to summon help.[18] Both accounts agree that when the team returned for him, he had died from internal injuries and blood loss.[3][19]
That is the "Official" story told to the newspaper "Paris-Match" by a photographer who has left venezuela the day before... It is a nice story, but this is not the truth.
Hyrugaful Sad thing is he was saveable, he unfortunately landed in a tricky area which took 10 hours to traverse. When the temperature dropped, the exposure hastened his demise from relatively minor injuries otherwise.
Yea that was a real cliff hanger. A bit twisted though. People tell me after that hes all knotted up inside. He was really between a rock and a hard place. and was probably stoned.
as if it was ever seriously was on there if you are influenced by one youtube video of one bad incident. You can find one of those for any bucket list activity you can think of.
@Jean-François CUISINE. Bonjour, j'étais un grand fan de Boivin dans ma jeunesse et j'en suis resté à la version officielle de sa mort qui, selon vous, n'est pas la bonne. Vous qui étiez sur place, qu'est-il vraiment arrivé à Jean-Marc? Merci
Is there a way for them to jump so the chute doesn't come out all tangled and send them into the cliff. Did he screw up packing his chute because it looks like he did.
i've been there, its a 5 hour boat ride to the nearest air strip then a two hour plane ride to the nearest hospital, also quite a lot of walking required
Which really does then beg the question, "Why???" Actually, I feel sorry for these people - is "normal" life really so dull that THIS much adrenaline is needed to get through the day? I guess it must be, and I think that's very sad. Still, each to their own and all that...
If there is a Godfather of extreme sports Jean-Marc Boivin would certainly be in contention for that title. This guy had more first speed solo climbs, first base jumps, first ski descents on some of the worlds hardest mountains, and first hang glide descents (including Everest and K2). The list is endless. A true mountaineer and extreme sport pioneer. RIP.
@@Pattern-Recognitiona more important statistic, he lived his life filled with adventures not even 1 in a million people could achieve. No one is guaranteed tomorrow, to live life to it's fullest everyday is a life well lived.
@@boardriggerI'm sure he was filled with excitement and wonder as his legs snapped upon hitting the rock wall. And he had plenty of time to celebrate his triumphs while he bled out in the tree!

How can this be called a accident? I mean you are jumping off a cliff and hoping everything works like it should. It's something I'll never understand,but I have respect for the courage and dedication these people have.
The vast majority of wingsuit fatalities are BASE jumps from cliffs,like this one- over 90%. Wingsuit flying is not inherently dangerous- like most extreme sports it’s the sudden unanticipated stops or interruptions that usually cause all of the painful problems… or exterminations. If you stick to blue sky, it’s really no more dangerous than standard parachuting.
I do not have respect for people who treat the gift of life as something that can easily be replaced. Doing this for fun or an adrenaline rush is foolish.
What one man calls courage, another man calls sheer foolishness. To me, this is an entirely unnecessary risk in losing your 1 and only precious life just for 300 fleeting seconds of an entertaining rush of adrenaline.... That's more Bonkers the more i think about it.
and he was lucky to make it alive. 💗 love Angel falls, started going with my German grandmother...in the 1980s...We camped at UCAIMA with RUDY RUFINO. and Italian that lived there...fell in love with that place and never stopped going....now I am 60. That place is magical....specially the water has healling properties. 💗👍
So true. My son was a crazy egotistical rock climber. I was so afraid he was going to kill himself. Thankfully, he suffered a frightening fall that scared him into sensibility. My sons didn’t tell me about the fall, I had to stumble onto it on TH-cam. I was grateful that he was only mildly injured in what could have been much worse, and his training in redundancy saved his life, but I was most grateful that he realized his own mortality and became humble.
Wiley Coyote base jump. When the parachute opens and turns to the rocks, you're screwed. Smash, collapse, drag, open Repeat... I've seen this one before.
ANGEL Falls is named after Jimmy Angel. It has nothing to do with an angel. Jimmy landed his airplane on top and found gold everywhere. There is an annual trek led by his daughter, to try to find the site.
Did she pack her chute herself? It opened somewhat twisted by 180 degrees so that the lift generated was dragging her backwards. It's like hitting the reverse gear when all you want is going forward...
This document is a short version of jumps filmed in 16mm at 200 frames per seconds. This is the real length of what happenned. The jumper is a woman with a good skill in skydiving and BASE jump. When she opened her canopy she turned to look at the opening, therefore her parachute made a half turn during the opening and the canopy was facing the wall instead of the valley. So she hited badly the wall. On the first hit she broke her right feet, ankle and pelvis.
To be fair, "Accident" is pithier than "The Inevitable Consequences of Your Own Bad Choices". It wasn't the fall itself that killed him, but that is an ex-BASE jumper.
I feel so bad for that guy. How could he have possibly known that jumping off a cliff in the middle of the jungle could be dangerous? He's a victim, that's what he is....

@MTB Madness LMFAO!! Oh man! That comment would make anyone laugh their ass off! Even a guy on Death Row! That was good, very good! 😆😃😅😂 Thank you MTB, I needed a good laugh!
At least he finally got it right at the end. How can you call a BASE jump an ‘accident’? It’s deliberately throwing yourself off a mountain or highest point and praying your chute opens. Like it’s not normal. Parachutes were designed only for an emergency to try and save your life. Now everybody and your grandma is throwing themselves out of planes and off objects - because they can. No I don’t feel sorry for idiots that do it for the thrill. Personally I would rather they jumped off without one and save the sorry guys that have to mountaineer up that crap to find the body or the broken idiot and then carry it back down. 🙄
Yea, that was a pretty hard pilot chute pull which looked like it caused that poor body position during deployment. On another note, you shouldn't pack slider up if you're taking a 4 to 5 second delay. There's a better chance of having an off heading opening. Props for staying on her "A" game after slamming into a cliff!
Im confused by the comments. There are a lot of mentions of Jean-Marc Boivin, who was a man. When commenters say "he", there are correction comments saying "she". So who is this film of? Is it Boivin or somebody else? I can see from Wikipedia that a woman made this jump before him and was injured. Is this her?
Wow, great wall strike recovery technique (and very very lucky!!) Almost 99% of the time the canopy would collapse and its straight down to the bottom.
I don’t know how much worse it could be tbh, apparently after breaking his face and legs on the side of the mountain, he went on to get stabbed and impaled in numerous areas by the forest of trees and died from blood loss.
That's one reason, the other being on an undesired heading while opening. The same reason why helicopters stay away from cliff walls is the turbulence created by the sheer rock face. (I'm a pilot). Surely B.A.S.E. jumpers should be cautious of same turbulent conditions that could do what we see here, although this jumper obviously had other issues.
At first I thought the video was being played backwards around the half way point but then I realised no that's not playing backwards but it's him going back up backwards 🤯🤯🤯
I'm going to give you this canvas baggage. Strap it onto your back. Now when I open the plane door, you're going to jump, right? Oh No. Out of a perfectly good airplane?
One of the greatest videos I’ve ever seen…thank you OP….now I won’t feel bad about ANYTHING I do anymore in life…I could be flying around the air getting shit whipped into a wall

That's what he was trying to find out!
Not THAT many. He died.
one more time
My favorite is that after he smacks the cliff wall and then the ground he actually gets lift and starts sailing.. 😆
When you learn how to base jump from a TH-cam video after the dislikes were removed.
Wow, great wall strike recovery technique (and very very lucky!!) Almost 99% of the time the canopy would collapse and its straight down to the bottom.
This man died. How is he lucky?
@@goofballbiscuits3647 Because he is actually a woman that survived.

ppl gotta realize they aint birds.
This guys BASE jumping career has either hit a wall, or rock bottom
3rd person going to Heaven without dying...
Congratulations bro...
Happy Journey 👍🙏.
That didn't look like it felt too good, but it could've been much worse. Hadn't really seen someone get carried back up like that before. Crazy.
I don’t know how much worse it could be tbh, apparently after breaking his face and legs on the side of the mountain, he went on to get stabbed and impaled in numerous areas by the forest of trees and died from blood loss.
That's one reason, the other being on an undesired heading while opening. The same reason why helicopters stay away from cliff walls is the turbulence created by the sheer rock face. (I'm a pilot). Surely B.A.S.E. jumpers should be cautious of same turbulent conditions that could do what we see here, although this jumper obviously had other issues.
You need a climb wall to jump off of.
He's like "yeah......I'm just gonna go disappear under the tree line"
At first I thought the video was being played backwards around the half way point but then I realised no that's not playing backwards but it's him going back up backwards 🤯🤯🤯

Let's go base jumping they said. It'll be fun they said...........
@Kenneth Anderson Well, they weren't completely wrong on that.
I'm going to give you this canvas baggage. Strap it onto your back. Now when I open the plane door, you're going to jump, right? Oh No. Out of a perfectly good airplane?
That had to hurt like hell, Lucky he lived
Rondo Hunter but this is BASE jumping not skydiving.
@@theprivyninja Both equally stupid.
Parachute: Let's see how tough you are!
Base Jumper: Bring it on!
One of the greatest videos I’ve ever seen…thank you OP….now I won’t feel bad about ANYTHING I do anymore in life…I could be flying around the air getting shit whipped into a wall
