Wow. That was the worse possible place to collide with the wall. Ouch.

The full speed towards the end really puts it into perspective.

"Mei-Dan told NPR's Robert Siegel on Monday that an estimated 6 to 7 percent of the 3,000 or so "base jumpers" who use wingsuits or parachutes die each year."

my buddy was cliff diving in 2008 a year after high school graduation and hit the water at a weird angle and he died on site.

autopsy revealed the impact of the water turned his organs into pretty much mush.

That's a bingo. Dude collided with that huge jutting flake right off the bat. I don't know much about base jumping, but did he start properly? Seems like he didn't get enough clearance, that he was boned before the chute even opened, would that be a fair assessment?

Edit: thank the mods for the title change.

Seems very lucky the chute stayed open rather than tearing or collapsing. Let's say his parachute caught on that spur instead. How do you even rescue somebody dangling like that so close to the cliff face?

Vending machine rules. You keep throwing cliff divers at him until he comes down.

It seems the rocks slowed him down a bit, despite how hurt he was getting, imagine if he the parachute didnt stay open or if he just plopped straight down.

The fucking music combined with the footage slayed me. Horrifying accident made hilarious by the most awkward song choice.

Watching and seeing the sharp rock sticking out, I thought nah he won't hit that. Sure enough he glided right into it. Damn, of all the places to hit. But at least he will get to jump again.

See, it's not really the risk of death that frightens me when it comes to acts like these...it's the risk of horribly disfiguring, maiming, or paralyzing yourself and living a life with terrible chronic pain that scares me more. There are cases where I'd rather die than survive.
