If you have watched the specials on this you would see how these people who have lost friends and spouses continue to speak of their addiction to the sport. They sound like drug addicts who have seen loved ones die of heroin overdoses but can't bring themselves to quit. These people are literally addicted to the adrenaline rush and are very frank about needing to get closer and closer to the terrain so the "rush" continues to be the same. Eventually the screw up and die. Almost all the "pioneers" of this "sport" are dead and everyone knows someone who has died but they can't see the issue.
13 months after filming this stunt for GoPro, Uli Emanuele died in wingsuit accident. He actually filmed his own death. This is all you need to know about the level of danger involved.
Unfortunately, this does not surprise me. Far more experienced wingsuit divers have died attempting to pass through caves 10 times as large. Sad from a very personal point of view. From an objective point of view this sport seems to be as addictive and deadly as hard drugs. The objective difference is, that you usually can raise the money required for your addiction legally, until the golden shot takes you ...
It was actually filmed more than 2 years before Uli died..He wasnt sponsored by Go pro til about a year and half after stunt and many cameras were used .. multiple Sony Hd etc..but because of Go pro sponsoring and releasing on their channel only go pro footage was allowed to be used.
Seinfeld did a bit in his stand up about that in the 90s. Like helmets talking back in the locker room, "Thank god I had that guy under me, or I'd have hit the ground directly!"
Whenever I see one of these old wingsuit videos the sad part is I always ask myself, "I wonder if they're dead yet" and the answer always turns out to be "yes".
Cry about it all you want, but it’s 100% true. 99% of wing suit divers end up as red mist within 5 years. It’s a fact, look up the statistics dude. Is it sad? Absolutely. Is it untrue? Absolutely not.
@@Whoazer86 then why isn't Jeb Corliss, Sean MacCormac, and hundreds of other wingsuit pilots not that splat of red mist as you refer to it as, after well over 5 years of wingsuit flights??
Don't do that about mountaineers either if you read about or watch video's on people who engage in high-risk activities, you start to like them because you get to know the person through their writing their hopes, ambitions, relationships with family members. Then you learn they died before their 30th birthday completely alone on the side of a mountain after their friends had to leave them because they had to save themselves. After reading enough books about people who do this stuff you realize, that your good with just watching these sorts of things.
@@halfbee7886 I don't recall any specific names but I checked in the descriptions on a few 'best wingsuit' videos and some had lists of the flyers and camera people then googled them from there. I hope this helps.
This is the type of sport Is do if I were all alone in the world, and had absolutely nothing to lose! Because I'm sure that it would be the end of me, sooner or later! Godspeed to those who are really in to this stuff though! It's really cool to watch the videos that they make while doing it!
Inspirational Quote None. It had nothing to do with that. These guys would do it without a camera. We’re just lucky enough to get to watch. Makes amazing video! But I sure wouldn’t have the balls to do it.
Captain Cairo he chose to live an risky life and career. Though he probably had fun it’s probably pretty common sense to know flying up to 200mph is not safe is you crash. On the contrary you can argue driving your car is just as dangerous since every year there are million of car crashes but I doubt anyone is purposely going through holes only 2 meters big.

I can only imagine how free that this must make you feel Wingsuit flying looks amazing. Before reading the comments my initial thoughts were that while this guy is very talented, it is a bit too reckless to do what he did. Talent can only bring you so far and there are always things beyond anyone's control that can easily bring death. But I doubt he was doing this for the admiration of others. Deep inside, I think he must have really loved this. I am sure that I would, too. Rest in peace Uli. I cannot judge, or do anything but be very grateful for the parts of your life you shared with us all. Ultimately, I do feel that you made the world a more beautiful place, and that is a very good thing. So many spend very long lives spreading greed, and selfishness, or ugliness to the world. As short as your life was, what you did with it was make beauty in flight. I wish you peace and a great next step in your journey.
Yeah, and it doesn't serve any purpose. What's the sense of flying through a small cave...? I get the thrill of wingsuit flying, I get it, and I think it can be done relatively safe. It's the way they are pushing the limits what kills them...
Wikipedia: "17 August 2016, two deathsUli Emanuele (29), an Italian base jumper, died in a crash at Lauterbrunnen in Switzerland while shooting a new video. He was famous for his flights through a ring of fire and a needle’s eye formed by a rock. The other fatality was a 49 year-old Briton who jumped from the “High Ultimate” peak at Muerren and who also crashed into a cliff."
Perhaps because it’s not hard at all to believe it? I mean, look at these stunts? That’s what makes them so special: that they are death-defying. Alas, you can only defy death for so long...
Most of them just die. I'd say because they push the limit too hard with the "proximity flying". As long as you maintain more than 40-50 meters of altitude, it should be significantly safer. And I think even the pros plan their lines very carefully, with elevation maps and such.
I know right! I was about to say that... It is weird how go pro can take any camera and make it look really good when on that camera it wouldn't look good at all... It's weird and I want to know what's going on because gopros never look that good unless it's on the channel... I don't get it
William Leach It's a matter of choosing the right settings for each situation and carefully post-producing the result (colour correction, optics compensation...) Also, a properly set-up Hero2 can deliver better results than a Hero3+ Silver, in many scenarios.
William Leach @william: 1.) using protune 2.) proper colour/sharpness editing software....and good weather/ lighting is REALLY important too... hope i helped :)
@@HardestTargett Very good commentary. The more risk someone takes, the more likely it is that the outcome will be fatal. We can all die at crosswalks, for example, but the probability is low. However, with such a big risk, the probability of a short life is very high. But not all wingsuit flyers take such a high risk! And these sensible flyers are still flying today!
Mi chiedo cosa passi nella testa di uomo da spingerlo a fare cose così folle e adrenaliniche, tu eri un fenomeno, troppo giovane per volare via così, ma sicuramente ora niente e nessuno potrà fermare il tuo grande volo ❤️ campione eterno
Has to be about as daredevil as one can get.People saying it's stupid or suicidal,at least these guys go out and push the boundaries doing what they love.They know the risks and if they go they will die having lived more than most of us.
dirtbiker145 Not really. Wingsuit flying is now so safe and predictable that there's now a need to spice things up. This can only mean that the blindfold test will soon be next.
Just INSANE! This guy looked like he was threading a needle, he was the thread and the rock formation was the needle. The skill, the calm nerves, the precision....it really is on par with a surgeon or perhaps even greater. He is an aerial surgeon! AMAZING!
He didn't do it for GoPro, it was his life. Look up his interviews. Once he got a kitchen job on a mountain lodge so he could fly home in his wingsuit after work.
Ok...I don't think I have seen such an overwhelming combination of raw guts and skill. There is NO room at all for a mistake in calculation. He's facing his death with abandon.
When performance is bigger than luck and foolishness is bigger than performance. This is something that impresses me in no way. Really nothing more to say.
It's funny how when people like this guy have the balls to do insane shit and they succeed, everyone's like "WOAH AWESOME." But when he dies he's suddenly an idiot piece of shit who had it coming. He did these things knowing the risks, he most likely knew he was living on borrowed time. Why can't we respect and honor his memory, his stunts, and his massive balls? Seriously why are people so bitter and sometimes angry at him for pushing the limits and living the way he wanted to?
That's not the same people. Look at "Against the instinct" from his own channel. The spot where he jumped probably was too extreme... but one of the last picture when he was flying and smiling to his friend, is... marvelous. He looked so glad and in peace.
Nitrouge Fury Its a different world than yours that judges harshly..... it's the GROWN-UPS, who wear chains of responsibility, so that their CHILDREN, like Uli, can LIVE...... not die chasing a dream. It's the GIVERS that become BITTER, when a life ends in avoidable tragedy......no matter how HIGH the preceeding HIGH was.
Because a lot of people are trying to surpress their subconscious knowledge of their own imminent mortality, and especially that they'll die without ever having their greatest dreams come true, so when someone else fails at a challenge, it makes these scared people feel better, because now they can more easily justify never having tried to face their fears
Idk what it was about 2015-2019 but every body was sending it so hard. The ones who are alive today I see don’t participate so much any more. It’s definitely a selfish sport when you have people who love you & would be devastated if you die doing what you love.
It is the families, mothers, fathers, girlfriends, boyfriends who endure the emotional shattering and are challenged to somehow put their lives back together. If those who do this “sport” could look into the immediate future and see the inevitable outcome to those they love, I think fewer who jump. To the dead, one owes respect. To the living, only the truth. -Voltaire
One of the most dangerous things I've ever seen anyone do and the most dangerous thing I've ever seen from anyone with a glide suit! There was zero room for error!
@@davidbarth80 it's a coincidence that you say this. A friend and I were just talking and comparing free climbing, extreme parkour, extreme kayaking and taking selfies whilst edge walking, hanging or performing stunts from tall structures, as being similarly dangerous to suit gliding. I'm surprised but glad more people do not die doing these extreme activities. (Even though many have died recently, including one of Honnold's friends).
@Czterdziestysiódmy bro, I don't criticize his actions, I admire them! I just cringe when I see it because it is so extreme, but I'm glad I get to see something so amazing, at least in a video.
@Czterdziestysiódmy I don't know, everyone has their personal reasons and many people are irresponsible and do end up getting hurt or killed, but I still admire the fearlessness and the ability to push the limits. I don't admire the irresponsibility of some of them, but if some people take part in risky activities and they know the risks or possible consequences and are willing to accept them, then that is everyone's personal prerogative and there's nothing we can do about it. I used to do many extreme activities when I was younger and fearless, but now I have a family and much to lose, so now I also have fear and or respect for dangers, so I avoid them... mostly. Seems we tend to learn fear as we age.
Really tired, unfunny, classeless reference. Heard it a thousand times before and it wasn't funny the first time. And weird to be talking about another man's nutsack.

He could only be identified by scraping his remains from the rocks and doing a DNA test.

Absolute legend RIP
I can only imagine how free that this must make you feel Wingsuit flying looks amazing. Before reading the comments my initial thoughts were that while this guy is very talented, it is a bit too reckless to do what he did. Talent can only bring you so far and there are always things beyond anyone's control that can easily bring death. But I doubt he was doing this for the admiration of others. Deep inside, I think he must have really loved this. I am sure that I would, too. Rest in peace Uli. I cannot judge, or do anything but be very grateful for the parts of your life you shared with us all. Ultimately, I do feel that you made the world a more beautiful place, and that is a very good thing. So many spend very long lives spreading greed, and selfishness, or ugliness to the world. As short as your life was, what you did with it was make beauty in flight. I wish you peace and a great next step in your journey.
Or deep inside he was suicidal depressive?
GoPro when he succeeds: 🥳🥳👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
GoPro when he dies: 🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐
He went pro.
Rest In Peace Uli Emanuele. He crashed on August 17th, 2016. I pray for his family 🙏
All men die. Not all men live. RIP Uli Emanuele. You lived life on your terms. Much respect.
Thanks to the rescue workers for clearing up the remains! I'm sure they'll be able to cope with the experience!

Despite that they’re advertising to “be a hero”. Don’t “be a hero” and attempt this shit.
Yeah, and it doesn't serve any purpose. What's the sense of flying through a small cave...? I get the thrill of wingsuit flying, I get it, and I think it can be done relatively safe. It's the way they are pushing the limits what kills them...
@@daan5361 you know he died right?
@@JGunit Yes, I know
Be a martyr... be a pancake .... be a flounder.. be....
I love how you people are criticising him but you couldn't wait to watch what he did.
It's hard to believe he's dead now, said nobody who watched this video. RIP.
What is his name
Wikipedia:
"17 August 2016, two deathsUli Emanuele (29), an Italian base jumper, died in a crash at Lauterbrunnen in Switzerland while shooting a new video. He was famous for his flights through a ring of fire and a needle’s eye formed by a rock. The other fatality was a 49 year-old Briton who jumped from the “High Ultimate” peak at Muerren and who also crashed into a cliff."
Perhaps because it’s not hard at all to believe it? I mean, look at these stunts? That’s what makes them so special: that they are death-defying. Alas, you can only defy death for so long...
I mean no disrespect, but why is that hard to believe? Look what is recorded here? Incredibly dangerous. Then he has to top that.
possibly he took a GoPro with him while going to die for sponsorship money

The amount of skill, precision and luck here is insane.
I’ve been parachuting since 2001 and I’m quite confident in my ability. These guys are on another level of existence I’m sure of it.
Most of them just die. I'd say because they push the limit too hard with the "proximity flying".
As long as you maintain more than 40-50 meters of altitude, it should be significantly safer.
And I think even the pros plan their lines very carefully, with elevation maps and such.
He dead
He is dead...
And I thought riding a motorcycle was dangerous.
Narcix I think you missed the joke my friend
Shot 100% with the Hero 4 but you can see a Hero 2 case...
I know right! I was about to say that... It is weird how go pro can take any camera and make it look really good when on that camera it wouldn't look good at all... It's weird and I want to know what's going on because gopros never look that good unless it's on the channel... I don't get it
William Leach It's a matter of choosing the right settings for each situation and carefully post-producing the result (colour correction, optics compensation...) Also, a properly set-up Hero2 can deliver better results than a Hero3+ Silver, in many scenarios.
William Leach @william: 1.) using protune 2.) proper colour/sharpness editing software....and good weather/ lighting is REALLY important too... hope i helped :)
Look in description
Description says hero 2
That is the craziest most impressive feat I’ve ever seen. Incredible!
Yeah but as soon I saw it I knew there wasn’t any chance a guy like that would still be alive. He died soon after this.
@@HardestTargett Very good commentary. The more risk someone takes, the more likely it is that the outcome will be fatal. We can all die at crosswalks, for example, but the probability is low. However, with such a big risk, the probability of a short life is very high. But not all wingsuit flyers take such a high risk! And these sensible flyers are still flying today!
@@petersiegfriedkrug but those with a RUclips channel have to take the risks...
As soon as I saw what this guy did I googled him, as I suspected, he's dead. High price to pay for a thrill...
Even though he made it, this was a mistake.

I’m sure you have a hella boring life don’t you

Mi chiedo cosa passi nella testa di uomo da spingerlo a fare cose così folle e adrenaliniche, tu eri un fenomeno, troppo giovane per volare via così, ma sicuramente ora niente e nessuno potrà fermare il tuo grande volo ❤️ campione eterno
Has to be about as daredevil as one can get.People saying it's stupid or suicidal,at least these guys go out and push the boundaries doing what they love.They know the risks and if they go they will die having lived more than most of us.
THATS CRAZY!!!!! YOU ARE FLIPPING NUTS!!!!! Wowwwwwwwweeeee.
dirtbiker145 Not really. Wingsuit flying is now so safe and predictable that there's now a need to spice things up. This can only mean that the blindfold test will soon be next.
Are you stupid, look up wingsuit crashes on RUclips.
And I'd like to see you try that, you would piss your pants on the car ride there.
Hope GoPro can now give him a better camera than the Hero 2, haha
LMAO.

The skill, the calm nerves, the precision....it really is on par with a surgeon or perhaps even greater. He is an aerial surgeon! AMAZING!
RIP my dude. Thx for making go pro rich by sacrificing your life
Seriously. Look up any professional wing suit diver. 99% of them end up as red mist in under 5 years.
He didn't do it for GoPro, it was his life. Look up his interviews. Once he got a kitchen job on a mountain lodge so he could fly home in his wingsuit after work.
@@SyNcLife lmao he truly loved it
lol i looked up his name because i assumed he was dead by now
he does it because its fun and gives you an adrenaline like no other
"Be a hero" this is the statement that will get GoPro sued. Being a hero isn't having near death experiences for the sake of entertainment
This guy died a year later. Infact, almost all GoPro "Athletes" are dead. Same goes for the Red Bull Corner.

@@Padlock_Steve REALLY? People die for shitass brands, and you are like in Defensive Mode 3000?

Ok...I don't think I have seen such an overwhelming combination of raw guts and skill. There is NO room at all for a mistake in calculation. He's facing his death with abandon.
And he died too, not long after.
When performance is bigger than luck
and foolishness is bigger than performance.
This is something that impresses me in no way.
Really nothing more to say.
It's funny how when people like this guy have the balls to do insane shit and they succeed, everyone's like "WOAH AWESOME." But when he dies he's suddenly an idiot piece of shit who had it coming. He did these things knowing the risks, he most likely knew he was living on borrowed time. Why can't we respect and honor his memory, his stunts, and his massive balls? Seriously why are people so bitter and sometimes angry at him for pushing the limits and living the way he wanted to?
That's not the same people.
Look at "Against the instinct" from his own channel.
The spot where he jumped probably was too extreme... but one of the last picture when he was flying and smiling to his friend, is... marvelous.
He looked so glad and in peace.

Its a different world than yours that judges harshly..... it's the GROWN-UPS, who wear chains of responsibility, so that their CHILDREN, like Uli, can LIVE...... not die chasing a dream.
It's the GIVERS that become BITTER, when a life ends in avoidable tragedy......no matter how HIGH the preceeding HIGH was.
Because a lot of people are trying to surpress their subconscious knowledge of their own imminent mortality, and especially that they'll die without ever having their greatest dreams come true, so when someone else fails at a challenge, it makes these scared people feel better, because now they can more easily justify never having tried to face their fears

Idk what it was about 2015-2019 but every body was sending it so hard. The ones who are alive today I see don’t participate so much any more. It’s definitely a selfish sport when you have people who love you & would be devastated if you die doing what you love.
Yes, it is very selfish to live and die this way. I agree 😢
It is the families, mothers, fathers, girlfriends, boyfriends who endure the emotional shattering and are challenged to somehow put their lives back together. If those who do this “sport” could look into the immediate future and see the inevitable outcome to those they love, I think fewer who jump.

To the living, only the truth.

Similar to Alex Honnold's Free Solo climb.
@@davidbarth80 it's a coincidence that you say this. A friend and I were just talking and comparing free climbing, extreme parkour, extreme kayaking and taking selfies whilst edge walking, hanging or performing stunts from tall structures, as being similarly dangerous to suit gliding. I'm surprised but glad more people do not die doing these extreme activities. (Even though many have died recently, including one of Honnold's friends).
He's dead now www.thejournal.ie/base-jumping-deaths-switzerland-2935413-Aug2016/
@Czterdziestysiódmy bro, I don't criticize his actions, I admire them! I just cringe when I see it because it is so extreme, but I'm glad I get to see something so amazing, at least in a video.
@Czterdziestysiódmy I don't know, everyone has their personal reasons and many people are irresponsible and do end up getting hurt or killed, but I still admire the fearlessness and the ability to push the limits. I don't admire the irresponsibility of some of them, but if some people take part in risky activities and they know the risks or possible consequences and are willing to accept them, then that is everyone's personal prerogative and there's nothing we can do about it. I used to do many extreme activities when I was younger and fearless, but now I have a family and much to lose, so now I also have fear and or respect for dangers, so I avoid them... mostly. Seems we tend to learn fear as we age.

@@madanitall6407 A parachute does not help much if you crash into a mountain rock at 200km/h. The stuntman who jumped as James Bond from a heli during the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics died one year later when he crashed into the Alps in a wingsuit. He could only be identified by scraping his remains from the rocks and doing a DNA test.
If you keep knocking on death's door, sooner or later it will answer. I don't know who said that first, but it's very true.
