Thank you. I really needed this right about now. Dealing with medical issues myself , what was thought to be lupus is looking more like me and it’s only getting worse. It’s takes almost everything from me and still continues. I’m tired of the surgeries and hospital stays. I’m tired of the pain and feeling of defeat. I’m awake at 3 am unable to sleep as always watching cool videos and I come across yours. You have no idea what this just did for me. Thank you. Bless you for being such a strong person and sharing your story. I wish you a speedy recovery. ❤️✌🏽
Hi Rosanna, sending love and light your way.

I wish that miracle recovery for you too!!🙏🙏🙏💖
I hope your situation will take a turn for the better. You seem like such a thoughtful caring, loving human being. We need more of you in this world, not fewer. 😞
Talk about a real super hero wow. My son died at the age of 19 from muscular dystrophy and this story has given me hope. Inspiration, hope pride is what i am left feeling. God bless.
Good luck to you Bro. I started jumping in 1963 as a Paratrooper. Started Skydiving in 1966. Had the first Square in 1970, a Para Plane. Had to quit in 1972. Job related, no time. Diagnosed with Kidney Cancer and NHL in 1996. Started Skydiving again in 2013. Had to quit due to a fractured spine in 2015. Diagnosed with aggressive Lymphoma in 2016. went thru 3 rounds of Chemo. and 17 days of radiation. Oh how I miss the sport. Good luck to you and Blue Skies.
Edward Plitt --in this case, why not jump
hey try 32 root canals at 28_to 30 and still alive at 61 with stage 4 N>H>L>it is up to us how long we can stay alive,great people like you,rock it!call 714 679-3031 ask for Dennis.good luck to all you,oh the 32 root canals failed the same year.
Wow, Blues Skies to you! I've got to ask though, how'd you fracture your spine? Hard opening? Not skydiving related? I've got T4 and T5 compression fractures.
Nevermind, I saw your video. Best of luck! Stay strong.
Edward Plitt And good luck to,you.
Every once in awhile there's a video on RUclips that's worth watching... This is one of those... Inspirational doesn't even begin to tell the story... Thank you for posting... God bless
That was powerful. Daniel, here’s wishing you complete remission and a long, fascinating journey.
What can I say, this fellow is right, the destination is not the goal, its how we get there. I paraglide, it is exactly how he says, no thought for fears or life outside. Just the moment, the good and bad, but almost all good. When something bad happens, it happens so fast you don't have time to think but only react. I suffer extreme depression and anxiety. When I paraglide, it all goes away. I am who and what I should have been. Life is great. I love this man.
Keep fighting, keep living on the edge. I too have cancer and I live on the edge my way. God bless you
This is incredibly inspirational! Prayers that you keep your cancer at bay and live a long life doing what you love.
I used to skydive with Jim Paulson. He was one of the original designers of the Wing Suit.
He passed away a few years back but his creation still carries on. RIP Jim,,,
God bless you brother and those around you. Take care and fly safe.
I was given a year to live 5 years ago with congestive heart failure. I fired the heart doctor, Read on line about a doctor and how he says you have to scare the hell out of your self at least once a day. He claimed natural adrenaline is the answer. 5 years latter he was right. Am not in the best shape but it sure beats where I was headed. I bought a GSX 750 Katana and did all kinds of high speed stuff to it, It does give you a scare of your life. Far as am concerned, It works.
So inspiring! Are you still alive btw?
@@MrBen51309 guess not
Jesus died for us already but he rose again but if you have Jesus in your heart ❤️ even death comes you will never die as he died in our place. Life start after death as we are on test here for a new 🌎
I lived with a poop bag for several years in my mid 20s. I continued to surf with the bag. The surgery was the only option for survival and I expected to have the bag for life. A few years after the initial surgery a new procedure was offered that restored near normal function. I have since fathered three sons and surfed into my early 50s until arthritis stopped me. If I hadn’t had the original surgery I would have died a very painful death. Poop bags aren’t the end of the world.
It's amazing and messed up sometimes with all the things that can happen to a person in life so always live life to the fullest because we're only here for short time, and God bless you brother!
He literally scared cancer into remission.
the cancer was like "fuck this I'm outta here"
I think the cancer is gone... forever!
there is a saying: If i Die, i die doing the thing i love!
And this guy proved it!
clivedamagedgoods hahah
Hard to know the truth here. Most people with actual co-rectal cancer do in fact die.
The saddest thing in this video is his early decision to forego treatment. Five years out from receiving a six month prognosis, his decision looks pretty smart. But, as fortunate as it is, his outcome is pure luck, and luck is not a good strategy for conducting your life. I've spent 45 of my 70 years diagnosing and treating cancer, and the only thing that I know with certainty is that there's almost universal misunderstanding of cancer, even among most people in healthcare.
All cancers start with a single cell undergoing a malignant transformation. We currently have absolutely no idea how many individual malignant transformations take place within each human body every year, but I believe that it is in the hundreds, if not thousands. The body's immune system finds almost every single one of these transformations, and immediately initiates a good guy/bad guy battle with the uncontrolled cells. In the vast majority of cases, the body wins immediately, snuffing out the malignancy before it becomes apparent to anyone. In many cases, however, the battle is not so one-sided, and sometimes the malignant cells are able to fend off the attacks by the immune system long enough for it to be noticed, and acquire the label of "cancer", or "sarcoma", or one of the many malignancies of the hematologic and reticuloendothelial systems. These tend to get lumped under the label "cancer" which isn't strictly etymologically correct, but it's convenient. Once cancer has gotten to that point, it usually wins the game unless outside forces (i.e. medical treatment) are able to tip the balance enough so that the immune system can get the upper hand and finish the job.
It is this dynamic, back-and-forth nature of the malignancy/immune system battle that makes it so confusing. The medical literature is brimming with reports of cancers that were progressing, and then seemed to spontaneously give up and wither away. Unfortunately, it is the nature of the mind of Homo sapiens to create cause and effect relationships everywhere an effect is noted with out a cause assigned. In the case of cancer, we usually assign credit for the victory to the treatment last employed or, increasingly, the treatment most vocally employed, which is usually the treatment for which that credit is fervently desired. And the desire usually comes from political, spiritual and social forces which feel that they have a dog in the fight. The result is that, if someone appears to be dying of pancreatic cancer, and the balance of power spontaneously shifts to the immune system resulting in survival, credit usually goes to the coffee enemas, or the crystal worn around the neck, or the near lethal doses of vitamins ingested. Or to the same God who gave him the cancer in the first place.
We are a curious bunch, humans. We go to great lengths not to see truth standing right in front of us because, apparently, we don't like that particular truth.
Unfortunately, many will not take the time to read and less of them, to understand your very wise words. They strike me in particular after losing many loved ones to what seems to either be a genetic propensity or a great environmental local circumstance leading to their early deaths. I saw many believe in things, both visible and invisible, tangible and intangible and to a one of them, they all passed. In the end, the great clock that ticks within our bodies rings its final bell for us individually on a day of its own choosing. I for one do not want to set the clock to run faster, nor do I want the chime to sound loudly. This note is to let you know that your meaningful thought and experience were well taken. Thank you and smiles to you and yours.
Do you think destroying the immune system and poisoning the healthy cells with chemo and radiation is a good idea or are things that strengthen the immune system and kill healthy cells like blueberries or quercetin are a good idea?
I have a deep admiration for people like Daniel Rodriguez who choose their own path and who reject conventional cancer treatments. "It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees". - Emiliano Zapata
Ironic how people start doing things that can potentially kill them faster after they find out they are going to die.
Not at all. Once you find out your time is short, you no longer have anything to lose and can go all out.
Up to a certain extent, life is absurd!! Why not play with fire if fire has taken even at times people who have played it safe their entire lives!
James Sparks for those who have a reason to let go, what if they do die tomorrow? Would that change their concept of fear ? The question is not what if, it’s what if I don’t? I think we can reach our highest potential without voluntarily playing with death. how that is achieved is very personal.
@@Theabysstreasure well said man
Some, tho not me. I've gone thru several high risk sports, including free fall sky diving. Currently ride a motorcycle. Yet I'm not gravely ill, even at 71. I just like the rush, and, just as he said, living in the moment.
what a brave guy.. facing sadness everyday and making the most of life. I wish i was more like him. props to you buddy.
Why would you need to clickbait such a nice video ?
Should be called "Life by Wingsuit" based on content
Probably cause he's black & needs validation
True
@Abhi Pabla Lmao. There is not alot he can say to that buddy.
@Abhi Pabla you been hanging out with Will Smith a little too much........😏
There is nothing more valuable in this world than HEALTH.
God Bless You Daniel! may you continue to be blessed with the gift of Human flight
What an inspiration you are Dan! Only when you are staring death in the face that you truly start living! You literally scared your cancer into remission my friend! Take care!
Well done brother - live and live until you cannot as it's over before you know it.
doc: you got three months to live.
patient: time to skydive! (has bad accident, will never walk again)
doc: oh, the diagnosis was wrong, it was for a different patient. Sorry 'bout that.
You are definitely an inspiration for all people to get up and do something with their lives. Good Luck mate!!
This man is so incredibly amazing. What a brilliant idea on his part. 💖
Live your life to the fullest, you get one trip around.
My friend you are a true inspiration. I am watching your video so many times and thinking how great you are. You really scared the hell out of the cancer. I was a flyer as well. I really admire the way you live your life to the fullest. Good luck to you my bro and I will always be looking for your videos.
I understand that a radical change in lifestyle can heal and transform cancer.
It's lovely to see all that footage over Skydive San Diego.
I am a cancer survivor. My fiancé was a cancer survivor and then finally lost his battle. And I am a skydiver. And I understand.
So sorry for your loss.
I am sorry for your loss :/
@Smart Vibes dude chill its a youtube comment section wtf
@Smart Vibes Lol look at you first, fucking trash
@Hammerschlägen M It was the way you asked it sounded so disrepectful. Its a delicate subject and very close to home for them.
Also not the sort of question you ask someone. If she wanted us to know she would have said. Its probably going to bring her to tears just writing a comment.
Dont take offence if you lost someone close to cancer you would understand. You take care buddy. David
Good luck man! The best of luck to you and all cancer survivors out there.
Maybe adrenaline is the best chemotherapy drug.
SirDeanosity Yea, wow I was just thinking that!
Adrenaline. And happiness.
SirDeanosity yes scared the tumor right out of his butt on one of those close calls
BIG DRAGON haahahaha
SirDeanosity freedom from stress and anxiety of life helps too he probably changed his diet to make his body more alkaline this also deters cancer
So glad I watched this.. May the force be with you Daniel Rodriguez and Edward Plitt , you guys rock big time !! Bless you..//
This video I believe should be called life by wing suit!
I also believe that the wing suit brought a lot of positivity to his life in many ways to release the healing chemicals in our brain. He surrounds himself with like minded individuals, friends. Nice story!
To everyone with this dreadful illness I offer my love and support. Make the most of life and share the good times and memories with your friends and family.
You inspire me to live every day as if it were my last, thank you for this!
I was unfortunate enough for my parachute not to work on three separate jumps, first two I managed to crash relatively safely last one I crashed and broke my legs (I should have bought a new parachute in hindsight). When I was in hospital the doctor found something odd in my testicles after looking at scans of my upper leg. This prompted him to investigate my testicles more thoroughly. He then asked me to get my partner to hospital before he broke the news to me, he said I’m sorry to tell you but you have the biggest set of balls I have ever seen, but they will end up killing you one day if you don’t stop jumping with the same parachute. Sometimes you just need to bite the bullet and buy good equipment might save your life one day.
Daniel I wish you Recovery, your an Inspiration.
Hope he lives a FULL and awesome life!
Hopefully he'll end up living a REALLY long life lol just as a HUGE middle finger to his diagnosis. 👍
I started base jumping in 1976 at age 8. I was a competitive diver, combat medic in the army and started skydiving in 86. I had done base jumping in middle school, mainly bridges and static dams. I always loved cliff diving the best. I've jumped the Coronado bridge in SD many times. We are aren't suicidial. To truly live we push the envelope. Supai falls in AZ is my favorite place
Sorry to ask, but is he still alive?
We are with you. may God always be with you injoy your life
At least you have peace of mind doing something you love. God Bless and good luck .
I,ve never done any of this,but I,m happy that your living the dream,your dream! Hope cancer never takes you
3:17 : "Among the world's most dangerous sports, 620 people have died skydiving or base jumping".
Come on guys... What are you doing? Don't lump skydiving with base-jumping.
Skydiving is essentially kills no one, like ever. It is so safe, regulated, and has been getting safer year by year. It has procedures, authorities, qualifications...etc
Base-jumping on the other hand is the big killer, and has almost none of these. On top of that, wingsuit base-jumping (as in this video) along with one of its sub-disciplines (more like a sub-sub-sub discipline) is probably responsible for 99% of all deaths. There are even many known base-jumpers notorious for speaking out against the lumping of BASE-JUMPING with WINGSUIT BASE-JUMPING because of the inaccurate representation of "standard" base-jumping's true fatality rates.
So to put skydiving in the same sentence and numbers with base-jumping, on a video largely surrounding wingsuit base-jumping is just very lazy and very misleading.
Amen 👍☺
You're horribly informed with those statistics, yes you lump skydiving with base jumping you're completing the same goal regardless if you're base jumping, wingsuit flying etc. Correct they are subsets of skydiving as you need to skydive an incredible amount to base jump, however the reason people die is from pushing their limits and that goal is accomplished the same way you'd skydive, jumping off something high.
you know why people of both disciplines do not carry a second parachute?
For every 300,000 jumps per year, one proves fatal. You can’t ask for better odds. What’s the difference between skydiving and other sports? The margin for error.
@@MrBikboi It's not "pushing your limits" that kills...it's colliding with rock at 100 miles per hour. Obviously, if you never come within 6000 feet of a hard surface before pulling your parachute, you are orders of magnitude less likely to die than if you try to steer with your arms as you do a controlled fall in a squirrel suit within several feet of rock. Because...I don't even see how this needs explaining...in the first case, the only way you can fail is if the parachute is broken (even though presumably it's been checked 3 times) or you are unable to succeed at pulling a string after like 10 minutes of trying. Whereas in the second case, all you have to is fail to steer with perfect precision and split-second timing, and move your arm like half a millimeter in the wrong direction.
Thank You Brother.
Fuck yeah live long brother
Smile back at death’s face. Don’t welcome it but don’t fear it. May God bless you and your people
May you continue to Soar high above the ground. Mad Respect for you. Cheers.
Your opening statement is so true. I watch base jumping in awe and your story is awsome. Best of luck to you sir, I salute you!
May this man Rest In Peace, I’m a survivor myself. I’m one if the lucky ones who did treatment and and four years no evidence of disease.
it took this man until he was diagnosed with cancer to experience the essence of life.good for him because he lives it every day.
Live the dream my man.
WOW!! I am in the same boat doing the same thing!!! As of December 2016,,I am cancer free of stage 4 cancer. The chemo and radiation shut my liver and kidneys down and spent an extended stay in the hospital The say I got out my wife of 29 years filed for divorce. I still had a long battle with the cancer ahead of me, I am seeing the doctor every 3 months but even if it comes back I am living my life and the happiest if have been in a long long time. I would love to contact this guy and talk with him one day.
He has a beautiful Soul 💖
Wish you a long life man!
thanks for the most wonderful pictures, that looks like great fun. enjoy your time my friend!
Long live brother! Lots of health and keep fighting! Never give up!
i wish to you recovery and health
Truly inspiring!!!! I pray the cancer stays gone forever and you continue to live your life full of freedom and happiness! God bless.
All the best bro!
Thanks for sharing this! I have had cancer for 14 years and refused treatment. I do what I love which is playing worship music and I am still here.
how are you
@@zhang_hua1998 Fine, how are you?
I can understand and relate. I have cancer.
Dick Philpott probably someone who sells radiation machines or chemicals
Actually, no. I have Cancer. Therefore I can relate to the reality of his point of view.
open eyes&ears You're what's wrong with this world.
Dick, All the best and Blessings! Hope you are doing well!
@ Dick Philpott FUCK CLOSED EYES AND EARS! HE'S A PIECE OF SHIT WITH SHOES! If there is anything I can do for you please contact me. You are not alone! I survived cancer. I was diagnosed with NHL on 6.2.09 and still breathing.
Keep fighting. Were praying for you.
your the lucky one friend. im fighting same...one way or another, im gonna fly too
Pushing away the thought of death by risking death
Inspiring video and beautifully shot! The journey is the "goal"
Very proud of you man!! Keep jumping into the ski..
i had 18 weeks of chemo in late 2015. mantle cell non hodgkins lymphoma. i am also in remission.if i could do one thing before i get to the pearlie gates it would be to sky dive. at least once. nothing else to lose.
Hope your not waiting learning to skydive is not hard ... there a places ready to teach you. you can do you first jump the same day you show up the drop zone.
licensed pilot but never jumped out. All the power to you Daniel and as well Edward Plitt. both of you keep looking up and fight the foes you have already proven to beat.
When u really start living, your body will stop dying! Think about that! I hope u beat cancer for the rest of ur life! All the luck to u friend!
True
YES!
A healthy mind definitely acts as an antibiotic. I totally believe in that. Our mindset is the most powerful tool or we have. Period
Just a small snippet: It makes perfect sense why his cancer went into remission. Cancer thrives in acidic body, when the cells don't get enough oxygen. When oxygen level in a cell falls under 68% (if I remember correctly, it's a long time ago since I studied this). When he started jumping out of a plane, your heart beat goes up, and the oxygen intake up in the sky when you're pumped full of adrenalin is enormous. Also when he jumps of of cliffs he goes up there by foot, which takes many hours and sweating with which the toxins get out of your body. It is a dangerous sport but it's very healthy and he is the proof. Looks like they will have to put skydiving and wingsuit flight on the list of cancer therapies.
Way to victim blame guys. Basically you're all saying be positive and grab adrenaline rushes and cancer won't kill you. That's like the religious nuts who say you can pray diabetes away and it really is cruel to everyone fighting cancer, to everyone who has lost that fight, etc, basically saying they didn't try hard enough so they died. Bullshit.
Wow manl, another skydiver here. I had a huge accident breaking a lot of bones and being in the ICU for weeks; then the recovery took like 2 years. I made a promisse that I wouldn't skydive anymore but now I'm an advanced dressage horse rider. Man but I still miss those days... the smell of the airplane, the cold wind when you opened the door, the ready-set-go counts... that is living, the rest is waiting.
Inspiring MIT Superman God Bless You
...you're more brave internally than the bravery it takes to jump in a wing suit!... best to you....
I hope I have the fucking balls to do this if I ever become terminally ill.
You can do it without being terminally ill. Most people in the sport aren't terminally ill.
Congratulations. Let being happy in what you do help you stay healthy.
I've always wanted to base jump and fly a wingsuit, but my last name is actually " Splayt"... so I just don't think it is a good idea.
lol
Good joke.
The last wingsuit guy that was splattered all over the wall name was
Art
That's a big wow good luck fella ..many years of flying.
a bigger WOW amen to that
Everyone should live like this... always
Everyone? Really? How about if everyone got a great education and then tried to make the world a better place.
@@pixeldoc7119 fuck the world, im not gonna spend my life worrying about everyone else, life is too damn short to not live it how you want, everyone seems to thing you need to go to fucking school to be successful so how about your bitch ass sticks to your office job where you think you can change the world when really all you fucking do is push papers while the rest of us enjoy our life now before we are too damn old to do the tings we love anymore
I can't help but to think of the "Superman" theme music whenever I see videos of people flying through the sky with their wingsuits, (or as Buzz Lightyear would say, "Falling......with style")!
How does this make you a better person ..... Fair play for doing it, but it's a little arrogant to say it makes you a better person .
I think if you're overcoming that level of fear and being successful in your goals you're easilly gonna be a better person
It won't matter if you're a good person 100 years from. Just like it won't matter if you enjoyed life and lived for the thrill.
Makes him appreciate life more and kinder to those who suffer in fear as he does. Thats how it makes you better. Braver too. You obviousley are not a better person or even understand it. Because you have never faced down death and won.
@@imaterminator we know you wont be remembered......in a hundred years doctors may have cancer cures without treatment, due to sttress relief or adreniline...his cancer has stopped. Leave it to the losers who will die crying like sissies. Mine went away after some major treatments and it stays away, maybe from racing my bike at speeds in the 150s mph. You know why, death dont scare me anymore. Adreniline may be the answer in some strange way. Im cured and I intend to race till I die from it, or natural old age. But, it wont be the cancer.
When you cant understand something because you lack the expierience its probably better not to comment... you can become a better person many ways such as getting out and doing things rather than spending all your time critisizing others sitting in front of your monitor. Get out and live bro, your the arrogant one for commenting and having no clue what changed in his life for him to feel like hes a better person. Maybe he doesent take life for granted? Hence a better person.
May God bless you and fix the cancer so you may do some good in this world. All the best.
way to go cowboy
I respect your decision, each person has to decide what is right for their life. When I was 50 I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer, like you. I had two young boys at home. I chose to fight the cancer, including chemo, radiation, surgery, and a colostomy bag, which was the worst part. But with the doctors help I beat the cancer, and I got to raise my two boys with my wife, and we got to see them graduate college and get good jobs. And the colostomy was eventually reversed. My health was never fully restored, I still suffer from poor health. But I have accomplished a lot in the 15 years since I had cancer. For me, fighting the cancer and living with the side effects, so I could accomplish my goals of raising a family was worth it.
Wasn't someone supposed to die by wingsuit...Did I miss something???
Ronnie Roberts cancer did :)
Yeah, seems having or surviving cancer makes it ok to use clickbait titles.
He's an amazing human being. I wish I had courage that Daniel Rodriguez has. Simply an amazing human being.
Not human flight, human gliding.
Exactly, he didn't fly. He just floated down to earth.
And with a shitty glide ratio to boot. To turn gliding into sustained flight you need a sailplane with a sink rate low enough for thermals to give it a net climb rate.
As you are being pulled down , I look up to you. Live large, much love to you.
Find happiness my brother
If all of us would live a life like our last day, we would see that life is one and that it is short and that it should be done and done by what we love, in one word they would be happy, I would like you to fight with this wicked disease and that you enjoy the longer you love it ... to be happy, and thank you for showing us what courage is and what life is and that everyone can be happy.
you are in my prayers my friend. God will heal you!
Good luck man, god be with you.
Good luck my friend
Go straight forward to your life goals!!!
Guys that do this must not have children. If they do it's wrong.
"Won't somebody think of the children?!" *eyeroll*
longshotcharley469
I just hope YOU don't have any.
Girls do it too fucking idiot
1 2
And "guys" can mean girls too. fucking idiot !!
Why so rude? It wasn't meant to offend. I know what they mean, I have kids, I couldn't look them in the eye and tell them I was off to jump out a plane and, lets be honest about it, know I had a massive chance of not making it back home to them.
No need to start calling people a fucking idiot.
I'D do it if my children were GROWN; not if they're school-aged, no way.
Good for you. Continue to do the things you enjoy. When all else fails, it makes sense to try anything.
"a bunch of my friends have died doing it" but yea its so much fun.
Sounds like heroin... This guy was facing a death sentence but the majority of the people pushing the edge of wingsuits are adrenaline addicted jackasses just rolling the dice until they paint a rock face with their blood. Adrenaline is a drug like any other and these people have addicted themselves to the point that the addiction is routinely outweighing sound judgement and killing people.
@@kennethfharkin Atleast they enjoy what the are doing and life their life to the fullest.
@@montiro8999 like taking heroin.
Go, buddy. Live big.
