How much would they have to pay you to do this?

Pretty amazing glide ratio.

What about 5 million of your American dollars. 🤔 You must have a price.

Okay, final offer. ONE BILLION plus a night with a busty blonde model of your choice. Plus a bar of Cadbury's Dairy Milk. 

It certainly looks easier going down than it would have been getting up there.

He didn’t sound that happy after he landed, maybe he realised he’d left his phone at the top?

With enough training I think the risk could be minimised. I'd still want big money, though.

Truth is, if you start training in Wingsuit flights, you'll probably end up wanting to do that jump as badly as I do 😉

I stopped skydiving almost 10 years ago, and at that time I had only started using beginners wingsuits, but man what a sensation it was...

When a doctor tells me I have a month to live I'll call you. I think I'd still jump off the snow covered side.:unsure:

You are a scary man. 😀 Surprising how reasonable the glide ratio is. Those suits generate more lift than we would think. 

The largest ones even allow you to go up ! You can see that for example in that other crazy video (look when they go above the dam):

His expected ride back to where he wanted to go wasn't at the LZ?

Did I hear him utter an "F Bomb" near the end?

I'd love to know how he managed to reach the peak on such a shart knife-edge!  🤔

That is an achievement one would have to master on the first attempt, otherwise, SPLAT!

From the videos it looks like they don't have reserve parachutes?

I recall one video where a guy had no parachute at all and landed in cardboard boxes. 😄
