I feel that thrill every day of my life as I revolutionize and transform nations looking into an eternity soaring through the stars with Jesus, my man. These guys chose wrong, that's all.
At work there were countless safety meetings, steel toed boots, gloves, ear plugs, hardhats, harnesses, safety glasses or goggles, high voltage detectors, training, material safety data, radiation detectors, air filtration masks....and then I see this.
This clip is actually from a team building exercise... I think.

Yeah, but all that safety is going to allow you to live very long, where you end up propped up in a chair, someone trying to feed you soup, while you slowly shit your pants while wearing plastic underwear, wonderng where all you money went (the kids stole it)
This is as gnarly and mind blowing as Briceño's Aguille du Midi footage. I can only say this is taking proximity flying to its absolute limit. I mean, what is the point of going 30, 50 cm closer to the ground? Crazy.
That was insane. Man there were some close and painful calls in there. So he was launching off the Mt Blanc side of the valley. I was there last year. He paid with his life but sitting in here in front of my computer, that is thrilling.
Geeze, I've had a bunch of these videos recommended to me in the past couple days and every one of the people making the videos I've watched have fricken DIED doing this. It's ridiculous.
.......aaaand He’s dead 💀 9-10 proximity flyers I look EVERY time before I view the video. If the video is more than two years old 90% of them are dead already There has GOT to be a better way to feel a rush.
Jeff Bennett - almost everyone has died who did these videos including this brave Canadian. I think it may contribute to more deaths if the footage of their last flights is kept offline.
Unbelievable! Man, I'm sure glad it's you providing all of us with the incredible ride. If I stood on that precipice looking down it would be time for an underwear change. Stay safe and thanks for the vicarious thrill. It takes courage to do what you did. BRAVO!
Brave isn't the word I would use. This is pushing the risks to their limits on purpose, for the rush it gives. It's more akin to a drug addict chasing a fix than somebody doing something brave and courageous.
Perhaps you mean stupidest? People who do stupid shit like that are likely to die very soon. Still at long as they die doing something they enjoy then that's fine I guess. They win a Darwin award
