Wingsuiting-the deadliest sport in the world: Real Sports (HBO)

This guy is just full of testosterone. Go figure.

Like Buzz Lightyear does, falling with style.

Jeb Corliss: "I fly, bro"
No, mate. You fall. You can't land without a chute, and you cannot climb to gain altitude. It's a semi-controlled fall, but a fall nonetheless.

This guy is on the edge!

Awesome, Darwin wins, again and again and again and again! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Corliss is so selfish, “waiting for a chopper” while someone may actually need a chopper from an actual accident.

Those rocks look really hard
Orville and Wilbur come to mind
I guess "ROCK ON ! "

There's a better way to fly, maybe not maximum adrenaline per unit time, but arguably more adrenaline per lifetime. And you can literally fly almost anywhere and go much much greater distances. I refer to weight shift trikes. For example YT search evolution trikes...to give but one example. But there are many variants including electric trikes and ultralights/microlights in general. The problems with wingsuiting other than high fatality rates (!) is the limitations of suitable areas, the hassles of getting into position, and especially the extreme brevity of the flying experience. With trikes and other ultralights one can gets hours of flying virtually every day - you could cover huge areas, fly across the USA for example or even around the world...

Jeb corliss is kind of a inspiration to me.. I love the sport, and he is so passionate about it, through thick and thin, he stayed with the sport, he is ruthless, and he dont care about anything but doing what makes HIM HAPPY. I feel thats a big problem in our world today or with me at least. We all do things to please other people, yet we forget the most important person to please, and that being yourself. I may be rambling at this point but i want people to know if you want to REALLY do something but of scared of what other people think, just do it. Yourself comes before others and you dont have infinite lives unfortunatly. Live your life to the fullest and do the things you truly love to do. I hope everyone has a blessed day and many years to come. God bless

How do these people afford to do this all year

"Like a caveman running from a dinosaur." Well, there were only about 60 million years in between the last dinosaur and the first caveman.

do you guys not get that being with that woman is bad luck. true guys from the same sport died while in a relationship her....

This Chris McDugal fella looks an awful lot like the MMA fighter War Machine. I thought it was him in the thumbnail lol

Deadly "Sport"? I consider it a stunt, not a sport! You might as well call Russian Roulette a sport!

They are called Exit Points for a reason.

⛰ ~ My problem is who is paying for all their medical bills? If they’re paying some kind of fee to cover the expense of all this then that is one thing. But if they’re just sticking the taxpayers with the price tag, that’s annoying. Any poor person can lead the services and the taxpayer Hass to pay instead, but when you’re doing something so unnecessary and so extremely risky, you have to pay for it.

That woman has been married to 2 guys who died doing this. I think shes just dating them for a life insurance check.

These people seem like they live a depressing existence when they are not fed their dopamine and adrenaline rush. That’s very sad, to have to risk your life just to be happy is very sad indeed. But it’s their life to live and choose I just hope these people don’t have kids Geesh

Are most of the casualties from people doing daredevil stunts?

Your reward to risk ratio is severely inverted 😅

Seems like a real death wish. If you don’t do anything else in life other than throwing yourself off a cliff, then you’re looking for an exit from life. Otherwise just addicts to a “sport” just for a high.

I say live your life the way you want to

Props to these courageous people

Red flag red flag red flag new dude sorry just a thought gotta wonder with that act

I wonder in that small swiss town who is paying for treating all this people injuries and to rescue them ? Also I can't even imagine how the villagers feel about all this nut jobs coming to their village in drows and landing in their yards and on their roofs .

I understand the rush, but this is utter stupidity. Humans should be intelligent and wise.

Jeb Corliss seems like an exhausting person to talk to.

Feel sorry for their parents!

The dumbest sport in the world.

That lady is getting passed around that base jumping crew like a hot potato

A modern Icarus.

I'm currently 14 jumps away from having my skydiving license. With wingsuit in mind. As a new skydiver Every time i go up, it takes a lot and a lot of focus to leave the plane. But the answer as to why I'm doing this comes once I'm in the sky and wanting to go back up once back on the ground. The risks are real, but you will find the reason you keep going back in the skies.

Ian needs to run away as fast as he can from the Black Widow!

"What was it that kept you from wingsuiting after seeing your husband get splattered while wingsuiting?" Umm..

What was it that kept you from wing suit flying after the person you loved most died tragically in a wing suit accident? Hmm. What could it be? That's a tough one.

"Caveman running from a dinosaur". Yeah, educated.

They want a real rush!:? They should do popper while gliding down.

I didn't know flying was the most primal feeling. When were we able to do that? Also how is it comparable to a caveman running from a dinosaur?

Considering only the death rate, this "sport" makes the Isle of Mann's Tourist Trophy motorcycle race look like a walk in the park.

admire the "courage" but have serious doubts about the role "reason" plays in their thinking. First item that strikes me as suspect is the description of what they are doing as "flying" when in fact it is controlled/prolonged falling. I see it as delayed impact mediated by the parachute. That's a big difference from "flying".

Go swimming with some sharks and then you can say it’s the deadliest sport!

The mountain will eat you, but it doesn’t know it wants to but doesn’t know it does. The shark will eat you and it knows it wants to. That’s the difference.

Not , ''I love flying"" but I love barely controled falling.

junkies

WOO0OOOOOOW
