Wow! Some amazing video, this incredible flight started with a fly by at the summit of the majestic Mont-Blanc, followed by the longest terrain flying wingsuit line ever! From the summit to the opening of the parachute there is 3650m altitude difference, 7.5km horizontal distance for a 3 minutes and 5 seconds total flight. http://youtube.com/v/50R1_i6MhOo

Wowsers, how they judge those fly throughs is amazing! The one through the crevasse
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Red Bull strong as ever. RIP Dietrich Mateschitz, the founder of Red Bull who passed away just over a week ago. Red Bull was not a casual or trendy supporter of skiing. Red Bull was sponsoring the World Cup aerial skiing events in the mid-1990s and was sponsoring athletes as well. No doubt this sport would not be the same without him and the same for the wingsuit guys.
I particularly liked how they flew around each other and then performed the flick rolls.
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

It is amazing and I totally get how there must not be an adrenalin buzz like it but it does scare me even watching. The slightest error and they are cratering into a crevasse or ripping an arm off.
We saw them landing under their chutes, coming down very fast (apparently cos they open too low to properly slow down )

Nah. First of all they are jumping very small canopies and second he put in a few hook turns prior to landing. That's always a sure way to liven up a landing. A canopy is reaches its decent rate pretty much at the time its open.
After all it is free

+1
I guess their chest and core muscles must be pretty strong to keep from being folded in half backwards
