Daredevil Wingsuit Flyers Jump off a Mountain and Land in a Moving Plane
Make sure you are sitting down somewhere safe before you begin watching this video. It is a terrifying two minutes watching two guys put their lives at total risk. It is also just a little bit awesome. Team Red Bull has paved the way for spending lots of money on doing outrageous things, but this video might be the icing on the cake. Two guys in wingsuits jump off a mountain and land in a flying plane. The whole video is so tense watching the plane circle around to the right altitude, the men in the wingsuits obviously have minimal control over their flight path and a mistiming could be devastating. Miraculously they actually successfully complete their ludicrous task and watching it you even get a tiny jolt of the adrenaline that must be rushing through the whole crew.
The two insane wingsuit flyers are Frenchman, Fred Fugen and Vince Reffet from team Soul Flyers. They jump off the top of Jungfrau mountain in Switzerland from a height of 4062 meters. The soul flyers team has been around since the 1990s and has evolved from skydiving to freestyle B.A.S.E. jumping to now focussing heavily on wingsuit B.A.S.E. jumping. Redbull, which first made its name as a Taurine loaded energy drink, is now a major sponsor of extreme sports from Mountain Bike Riding to B.A.S.E. jumping.
