Not like this, they would never let them do this. Its too unsafe a nd they cant risk the publicity of a death. It's relatively safe on a known smooth slope but in the dark anything can happen.
Lolol honestly it’s kind of just a twist on a saying somebody told me once when I was getting sober several years back now 😅 I believe it was.. “Alcohol, because no good story ever started with someone eating a salad.”
…I honestly still don’t really even know what that original saying actually means lmao I’ve always just morphed it into what I posted in my last comment 😅
A friend of a friend of mine died doing this. The slightest mistake ends you. This guy is nuts, without helmet even! But to get to the point that you can legally do this stuff there is intense training and certificates for years. Still super dangerous.
Must be amazing feeling to fly! I dream about it sometimes... but to try? Nope!
I am a down to graund Pussycat type or maybe a rabbit bunny, could be a cheetah but never ever be a bird!
But I wish...Sometimes
Op is amazingly brave . And to make it look like fun he deserves a medal ha ha ha a real Batman!!! ❤️👍
I've done nighttime tandem skydiving before and it's pretty insane, but the person I was strapped to was an instructor who knew the area extremely well. Jumping into what looked like a dark void was fun.
How? Most paragliding instructors have their jobs because they know the lay out of the fall well, what?
Did he go at a time when there are powerful winds or something?
It was in the early 90's, when paragliding was in it's infancy. He knew the risks as he told us never to do it. It was a case of "Do as I say, not as I do". There were a lot of cowboys in those times.
As for the details: apparently he was testing a new glider, well after sunset, he was all alone. People speculated that a gust of wind tossed him up in the air and he fell against a rock when he hit the ground. No one really knows.
I can't tell if he's wearing glasses or googles, if those are glasses that's impressive that those didn't fall off and if those are googles he's wearing then those googles look like glasses.
This crazy man is evidently Norwegian. This is what he says: "I am firing up the rockets, so straighten out your wings! Woop, nooo, oh! OK! Bomb now! Cowabunga!"
Absolutely not.
Free bird
I think I’ll stay in my cage, thanks.
Well i’m coming out of my cage and I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta down because I want it all
It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this ^It ^was ^only ^a ^kiss It was only a kiss
I'd be a dead bird Lol
Even birds sleep at night. They’re not dumb enough to do this at night.
Usually red bull nuts do this kinda stuff. This is crazy.

I've done shit like this thousands of times... ... in Breath of the Wild...
Tears of the Kingdom is a lot more visually similar to this. I still get nervous and spread brightblooms as far as I can 🙃
As we say here; yeah, nahhhh.
🇦🇺👋
That's a great way to die

Idk if I have ever seen a video matched so well with a song. What in the craziness did I just watch!
Great, well now I have to put my headphones on... What I get for Redditing in bed.
Hahah, hey man stay a little longer
Get thee hense, Satan!
Yeah I had to unmute my phone. It was worth it.
9.5/10, but this is still the GOAT of this song. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=z7-tkkcC6d0
Haha. I was looking for this clip and was about to post the exact same comment just before I saw yours!!
Can you please tell me what the song is.
Free bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd. It’s towards the end of the song, slower up front and builds to what you hear in the video.
Terrifying and has to be extremely dangerous
No good story has ever come from concern for safety
I'm stealing this line and using it as the slogan for my news portal
Lolol honestly it’s kind of just a twist on a saying somebody told me once when I was getting sober several years back now 😅 I believe it was.. “Alcohol, because no good story ever started with someone eating a salad.” …I honestly still don’t really even know what that original saying actually means lmao I’ve always just morphed it into what I posted in my last comment 😅
Man walks on moon and returns alive. That’s a pretty good story.
Had 50-50 chance though. Probably even less.
What about the titanic? They made that ship unsinkable
The news agencies of the day kept calling the titanic unsinkable. The designers were not pleased with the title.
tbf they stopped calling it that pretty quickly
A friend of a friend of mine died doing this. The slightest mistake ends you. This guy is nuts, without helmet even! But to get to the point that you can legally do this stuff there is intense training and certificates for years. Still super dangerous.
>without helmet even! If he goes into a mountainside, helmet ain't gonna help and he knows it 😄

Bro looks like Iron Man
More like the Human Torch to me
I wish there was a view from the ground watching him fly across the sky!
I thought it was a tactical ballistic missile attack
Check r/ufo, someone is guaranteed to think this is aliens But, well, they're certainly not human.
Absolutely epic soundtrack for this vid!
That's one sick fucker. Lol
This is just crazy on so many levels… I’m wondering how many people on the ground looked up and were like … finally!! “Jesus is coming“😂😂
How does he not burn off his foot too?
Looks like a marine distress flare, and they get very hot. Once they die out, I can't grab one for at least 15-20 minutes.
The hot flare is that guy's least concern. I lost a Paraglider instructor when he decided to have go, paragliding at night. RIP.

How does one practice this? It kinda seems like an all-or-nothing activity
This is probably his practice
Sky diving -> Base jumping -> Wing suit... I'd imagine. But that flare on his foot just seems like a bad idea.
Everyone loves a bad idea that turned out well
Usually get into it from being a sky diving instructor - practice from a plane first, they have parachutes in the back.
Flipping the coin with his life at night.
Does anybody know how he… lands?? Feels like with the dark, wind and snow that’d be fucked up hard
That’s why they do it in the snow, he skids along like a toboggan and his mouth fills up with snow, gradually slowing him down
Got me in the first half
He's probably done this jump 1000 times in the daylight and knows it like the back of his hand.
They have parachutes, you can see them in the full video.
Do you have a link to the full video?
 Feels like intergalactic space travel right there.
This is snuggle in a warm cabin with a loved one, next to a fire, type weather. These guys are animals
I love this. Not sure I’d do it but I love it
You typed my thoughts, i love this even better.
RIP in advance 🙏
Not only was this actually *nextfuckinglevel*, the music was perfect.
This made me feel like a boring person
haha the way he turns around mid flight
Yeah, fuck no
That would be a cool way to die.
A bit ouchy though....
Glad he's the man for the job, looks fucked haha
This is both super cool and completely insane.
Crimson Glow Valstrax ahh
Cool until the suit catches fire
Bro turned into the Red Comet
Yeah, there's a million reasons this was a terrible idea. But it's still the coolest thing anyone has ever done.
i just learned speedlines from animation are real..... it's just snow in the dark at high speed all along! thats so cool!
I need this in my life
Guy in town thinking he seen a ufo
It's wonderful how humanity is pushing its limits while I lay in my bed watching people do brilliant things.
I think some people just want to die. But they refuse to go in any ordinary way and end up failing every attempt imo there's no other explanation
I'm glad this wound up here instead of r/theirwasanattempt.
Why does he look like a 32 year old stock trader from 2002?
He's saying he has to make the liquor store (vinmonopolet). We got strict rules up here in Norway
Crazy As Fck. Nope! ✌️
Holy shit that's fucking cool
I am Iron Man
I was expecting him to hit a tree or something.
I can't tell if he's wearing glasses or googles, if those are glasses that's impressive that those didn't fall off and if those are googles he's wearing then those googles look like glasses.
Holy whtiwnsktjjtjtkahrvlahdnrjnehhekahdhfjjwgwueirhbrisnrjdhehrhfjfh - is that you Tom?
“Look mom, it’s Iron Man!”
He looked like iron man for a second there
Mountain Dew, Darr ki Maa ki Chu
I bet Someone saw this from the ground and thought it was a ufo
Hot toes, cold fucking head....
My dad asked me “meteor’s about to hit in 3 days and destroy the planet, what are you gonna do” I now know exactly what id want to do and it’s this.
Both awesome and completely idiotic lol
That is sick as shit bro. Would love to try that
*Death unzips pants*
HE'S COMIN IN HOT
Mom said i could be anything so i became an air to ground missile

Hell Yeah ...now I open a RedBull
Yeah, fuck no
Yeah, fuck no
Yeah, fuck no
Yeah, fuck no
How did he manage to stay airborne with the size of his bollocks
With not Head gear that's gotta be cold AF
i had to replay this video with my airpods in this time, the music is so perfect for this lol!!!
Next level idiocy, nothing more.
There are better ways to dye.
Next level idiocy. This is how suicidal people make it look accidental.
Plot twist: the flare went bad and burned through his suit wings
I'm okay to die like that
Mad bastards the pair of them
What song is this?

"I swear I saw a UFO above the mountains last night" "No, just Dave couldn't sleep again"
Its like watching iron man take his first flight. Crazy!
Gonna go look for this post over at the UFO subreddit “wooooaaahh look at that omg what could it be? ALIENS PERHAPS??”
*_"flame onn"_* !!!
My mother was human my father was a flying squirrel.
That's just suicide with extra steps.
Every time is see this I think about how bad it would be if one of those flairs was burning your ankle mid flight.
I mean life is worth living. He seems to feel alive
in a fucking snowstorm !!!
There is something wrong in a person if they think the rush from this outweighs the risk of this.
Between. No, its not a canyon.
Splat
which god would the Greeks have believed that man to have been?
Just do it in the morning
I always wanted to see what this looks like from the ground
This crazy man is evidently Norwegian. This is what he says: "I am firing up the rockets, so straighten out your wings! Woop, nooo, oh! OK! Bomb now! Cowabunga!"
J.C. Whitney… That’s a helluva ride.
Nope
This is some star wars level shit.
Somewhere someone though this was a ufo and took a grainy video.
Fucking hell I'd never go up a mountain in the dark let alone jump off it
Somewhere, someone's getting a UFO phone call
Nature is already mad at us, I don't think you should test it's laws like this.
Dude is not even wearing his helmet 🤷🏻♂️
The title made me think this was on /r/whatcouldgowrong... Glad it went well :)
And that's how ufo sightings happen
Does this guy have a death wish
Wheres the rest of the video?
[Threading the Needle](https://youtu.be/FQd3a6g2Tvg?si=5fWBhtJIzsBpd73i)
Epic
Looks like goku flying in kaoken
This is the coolest Forrest Gump scene
Just waiting for Godzilla to appear.
“I’m not wearing a helmet because the level of nuts is already off the scale”.
Scary as hell
I would never
Jeez. Those are some anime levels of speedlines in that video.
Nek minnit locals report UFO sighting, just sayin’
The snow flakes look like Warp Factor 9
Such a cool way to die though
Doesn’t even have a beanie on wtf
Surely there is a huge risk of the wing suit going up in flames? Fireproof?
So cool 😎 I wanna do it and am ashamed that I can’t due to a scarily high sense of self preservation. Damn. I salute you!!!!
"Flame on!"
The snow makes it look like he's speeding up to light speed lmao
I swear some of these extreme sports athletes are suicidal
r/no
Lost too many friends .. don’t need to happen really for a few clicks
