Wingsuit Video: Le Goût du risque 360°

Posted: 14 Jul 2016 06:07 AM PDT


Le Goût du risque 360°
Dans cette expérience, l'internaute fait partie de l'équipe de ces champions et se glisse - un temps - dans la peau d'un sportif de l'extrême pour vivre ses sensations. Il partage avec nos personnages leur expérience et leurs réflexions et s'imprègne de la philosophie de leur pratique.

De l'intérieur, nous découvrons quatre disciplines extrêmes : le snowboard freeride et le wingsuit avec Géraldine Fasnacht, le bodyboard avec Amaury Lavernhe et la plongée en apnée à poids constant avec Guillaume Néry.

Wingsuit Video: Amazing Video Shows Base Jump in Swiss Mountain Valley

Posted: 13 Jul 2016 05:51 PM PDT


Amazing Video Shows Base Jump in Swiss Mountain Valley

You have to be very brave and very confident to just throw yourself off a mountain. These base jumpers in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland, had both the bravery and the confidence to do just that. Wearing wingsuits, they flew through the air at incredible speed and managed to enjoy the surrounding landscape of a Swiss mountain valley. Credit: Clem Newell

Experience: 30 base jumps

Description:

BASE 429.
Alex had 30 BASE jumps and is a very experienced skydiver.
This jump took place from a launch point well known to him, at night, with no wind and under a full moon.

Witness reports state he did a short delay considering the altitude available and then lost sight of him. Alex is found dead hours later by a rescue team.
The rig is reported to be packed slider up (single canopy container, but an old skydiving canopy more or less adapted for BASE).
The report went on to say the canopy seems to have been perfectly deployed.

jumper_imagejumper_image
Date: October 21, 1996 Nationality: American
Object Type: Earth
Location: El Capitan, Yosemite, California, United States
COD: Impact (Wall)
Clothes / Suit: Normal Clothes
Gear / Parachute: tbd
Age: tbd
Experience: tbd
Time of day: tbd

Description:

This is the second El Capitan fatality and Yosemite's fourth BASE fatality overall.

He is nicknamed after the cartoon character Maggilla Gorilla and is one of those warm and fuzzy people who are a joy to be around.

I knew him from working at his DZ for a time in Buckeye, Arizona.
One night he asked if I'd like to see a video of his one and only BASE jump.
The jump is from El Capitan, and from looking at the video, and from what he told me later, the jump spooked him so bad he swore, he'd stick to the DZ and never go BASE jumping again!
So it is with some surprise, I learned a few months later, he did indeed return to El Capitan for another jump.

Witness accounts differ with some saying he did a short, out of control delay, deployed unstable, and hit the wall.

Others thought his parachute is hooked up to his harness backwards.
A timely rigger's investigation into the state of the gear is prevented by Park Service officials.

Object Type: Span
Location: Royal Gorge, Colorado, United States
COD: Strike (Canopy)
Clothes / Suit: Normal Clothes
Gear / Parachute: tbd
Age: tbd
Experience: tbd
Time of day: tbd

Description:

Don had 30 skydives and an unknown amount of BASE jumps when he had another person pack his parachute for this jump.

The report included the line, Don is an idiot when it came to assessing risks.

On a previous occasion he decided to teach a climbing buddy of his to BASE jump.
He correctly figured some skydiving experience would be helpful so he forged a logbook to make his buddy look USPA B license qualified.
The report stated, Don took this two-way out of a plane that almost killed them both. He later took this same friend off a tower.

Don flew himself into a corner, after this bridge jump, and panic hooked himself into the canyon wall.
He died from severe head trauma.
This and the only previous fatality from this bridge both involve canopy control problems in the tight landing area.

Description:

Theresa is doing a static line jump from a low cliff.
At the last moment, instead of leaving the tied off pilot chute on the ground next to her launch point, she decided to place the pilot chute into the BOC pouch of her BASE container.
When the static line became taught, it applied forces to the pilot chute at a right angle and the break cord prematurely parted before extracting the pilot chute and bridle from the pouch.

Theresa is a live wire to all who knew her.
She is a local radio personality under the name of Gina Davis and is responsible for the first ever corporately sponsored BASE jumps she organized for one of Magic Mountain's opening days in California. Theresa and I are room-mates and she is missed by all who knew her.

Age: tbd
Experience: 150+ parachute jumps
Time of day: tbd


Description:

Susan is the first El Capitan fatality and Yosemite's third BASE fatality overall.
She held a head high attitude for too long, lost altitude awareness, and backed into the wall in her 15th second of freefall.
This jump began the process of insisting people who begin BASE jumping have at least 150 previous parachutes jumps.
There is also a side issue involving people without much experience being handed BASE jumps beyond their abilities.
Load organizer Keith Jones is arrested by the Park Service (after staying behind to lead recovery efforts) and charged with manslaughter. The charges are later reduced to aerial delivery.

Object Type: Earth
Location: Bungonia Gorge, Australia
COD: Strike (Canopy)
Clothes / Suit: Normal Clothes
Parachute: tbd
Age: tbd
Experience: tbd
Time of day: tbd

Description:

The third Australian BASE fatality. Joe is so nervous about the jump that friends later remarked about it.
Apparently he had an off heading opening and failed to adequately respond.
He hit the wall several times and lay injured at the bottom.
It is reported with some speculation that if someone on the load had some basic first aid skills, Joe might have survived.

----- Updated report by First Responder on Scene.
After Joe hit the ground, Peter B, a jumper with First Aid Certificate and experience attending to parachuting accidents was with Joe within 10 seconds.
About 20 minutes after the accident Joe stopped breathing.
At that point Peter moved Joe's body into a recovery position and Joe began breathing again.
It became obvious to him that broken ribs had punctured Joe's lungs.
He also had at least one broken leg and numerous facial and head lacerations (his helmet was torn off during the accident).
10 minutes later Joe stopped breathing again and CPR was ineffective. Joe never regained consciousness throughout these efforts.
Rescue Services arrived an hour later and the helicopter an hour after that when it was too dark to winch out of the 900ft gorge.

Reportedly, an off the record comment was made by medical staff that he would have died even if the helicopter had been there within 5 minutes.
