This is a level of confidence that I don't want to have

[@amitgurung6499]

😅😅😅😅😅

[@boltthrower142]

it seems simply a level of danger ::

[@Chance-ry1hq]

This is a level of confidence you shouldn’t have. It is called foolishness.

[@CB-rv2lj]

its not confidence, its just pure not giving a care. people like this are the ones you hear about dying from doing something absurdly dangerous. yes they experienced that, but they can experience no more.

[@embearasedbear3694]

Don't be a coward death is the only great adventure

[@pauls6679]

I watched your speed flying the crack video at least 15 times today. the first 3x, i didn't believe, i hang glide. never heard of speed flying, went to your youtube site and watched your other videos and then to the chute manufacturer. I'm assuming you are young, you are obviously gifted, what you do is beyond the ability of not only the masses but even the smaller club of pilots, myself included. I agree that you are part of that reality at that moment, you, the rock, the chute, the vortex or lack there of are all 1, indistinguishable from each other. i'm guessing time of day and lack of sun in the flight path kept alternating currents at a minimum I believe you have to do what you do because it is not only the core of who you are but the circumstances of the universe coming together at this time in this place. change is also the very nature of life, I hope you are able to recognize when you are not in the zone, that sheer will or desire is not enough, nor the Need for adrenaline. Enjoy the rush, but if you find that life is incomplete for you without it , that the need for even more because you don't get that "feeling" anymore at the crack, ask yourself if the id is in control and you are now a passenger without a ticket, instead of a pilot, an atom, a particle of the "all". this may be the dad in me, but in this new age of internet world connection, always do this only for you and never for us, the audience. but damn, i loved watching it. paul

This might be one of the greatest things I've ever seen a human do. I think it's ok to stop now and just be a living legend.

[@Daveandbillie]

I have over 2k skydives and I love swooping but this is on another level. Not only do you have to be mindful of the ground but also the walls closing in, shifting, etc. the amount of precision required is just mind blowing. Mad props, but please stay safe.

[@dovybar]

And keeping safe means stopping doing this.

[@MonkeyKing3333]

"Please stay safe" ... This guy

[@GabrielGarcia-300]

Damn, 2k skydives is mind blowing to me, but I don't know too many skydivers. I did 1 jump and hope to do more. I've met people that did it once or twice. I'd love to have the confidence to get certified that far to be able to try a wingsuit.

[@thesoundsmith]

Yes, be safe. But he won't, the need for the adrenaline is greater than the need to survive. It's not just the stupid that Darwin themselves out of existence, it can be the inappropriately confident. When a sudden gust of wind changes your trajectory beyond your ability to correct -but I'm an old fart, WTF do I know 🙃

[@Daveandbillie]

Dovy Please stay safe is an acknowledgment that I see you and I want you around so please keep your skill level and abilities in mind when doing these things. My friend once said “I’m not afraid of dying, I’m afraid of not living.” That resonated with me and the meaning continues to evolve as the years go by. People who live in fear will never understand this. And they will never understand why people do these types of “risky” activities. On the flip side people who do these types of activities will never understand how someone can live in a bubble, sit in a cubicle for 40 years, and die of a heart attack while sitting on the couch eating a sandwich. That, to me, is insane. What’s the point in living if you are always in fear? Remember, people pushing boundaries is how the world advances. Granted, the guy in this video is pushing the boundaries which is why it’s so sensational. But he didn’t just wake up that morning, buy a wing, and fly down the mountain. It takes years and tons of practice to get to that level of skill. The trick is to not get complacent. It’s the same with any extreme sport. For example top fuel drag racing. They push the boundaries every weekend and the margin of error is very small. One slip up can cost a life. Yet they strap themselves to 12,000 plus horsepower land based airplanes and go a 1/4 mile in 3 seconds. Try telling those drivers they should stop because it’s dangerous. Or nascar, xgames, downhill skiing, etc.

[@bakersmileyface]

Proximity flying is the most dangerous thing I've seen. People wingsuit as close to the ground as possible. Travelling anywhere between 25 and 220mph below tree level trying to inch their way closer to the ground without actually hitting it. So many divers have died from that

[@kevinmathewson4272]

music makes me think he kinda trusts the universe and the stunt is almost like a drug trip, like even though he's skilled his mindset is still one of trust as he approaches the crack. he trusts his mind and body to perform and he trusts his equipment and he trusts that he knows the wind and that a gust won't slam him into the wall. for myself i think i prefer a more sober state of mind, i prefer not to trust the universe. but maybe if i experienced the rush of flight like this i might give in to the urge to trust the universe, because trusting the universe would let me keep seeking out that rush.

out of every video i've ever seen, this is probably the most dangerous thing i've seen done before. its goes orders of magnitude beyond do this and you'll probably die. even one mistake probably would have killed him and that doesnt include a failiure of his equipement. im all for people doing whatever they want, but i hope this guy just takes it down a notch or two before he becomes roadkill.

The more positive comments are the ones encouraging you to keep doing this. One day something terrible might happened and they will be around to say RIP. I want you to be safe, and I am sure your family and real friends too.

[@808MAFIAOG]

some times the things that kill you only make you stronger. in life live your dreams because life is too short but you are right be safe. some people just like living life on the edge, i just so happen to be one of them

[@wll1500]

Anyone who flies at this level is well aware of the fact that death could be waiting for them in that crack. The fact that they keep doing it means that they're at peace with that. I gaurantee you, no one at this level is arrogant enough to think they're invincible, because most if not all of these guys have had friends die already.

[@AHighlandParaglider]

@@wll1500 I think you’re right. However will that person have also considered the effect their death would have on their family, friends, the search and rescue folk who have to recover them, the local flying community? And the implications their actions might have on the flying regulations and restrictions in that region? If this guy continues to fly like that it’s only a matter of time before his concerns - or lack of - are no more, but a world of grief is left behind.

[@hovishead1982]

It's your life to live as you see fit. This is an amazing line and impressive, but you left yourself with so little margin for error (or not even error, but unknown variable such as gusts). KZbin doesn't need more death for glory videos, please use a little more margin. Blue Skies.

[@dillweed501]

Wrong. Once you reach a level of mastery, like this man has, the only way to get the same feeling you once had, is to do continuously harder and harder feats. Some people aren’t here to just simply live, they want to push the boundaries between possible and impossible

[@FragenAnsLeben]

@@dillweed501 Noch one gives a shit, what you do with your live and health, you can do the craziest things to get the thrill. But if you want people to give a shit, to take note about your actions, you have a responsibility. Apart from that, every human being need more and more to get the same kick, may it be eating ice cream or seeking an adrenalin rush or gaving sex. It is a sign of maturity to set yourself boundaries. That's how you survive to pass on your genes and learnings to the next generation. That's how you can contribute to society.
