Gorgeous video of cliff-diving in Switzerland with wingsuits

Diving from a cliff top in Switzerland isn’t for me but wow, these videos are amazing.

Maybe it’s just me (because I’m not a heights person), but I find myself floating a bit when they jump off.

I don’t know what it takes to prepare for this but the first time must be unnerving.

    This video on YouTube is actually more dramatic, the camera mounted on helmet view on a long glided down a valley is complimented with shots cameras on the ground that catch the entire run downhill from multiple angles. Truly awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nx37ccqHMk

      Interesting. I did not realize the URL I copied from YouTube would embed the video here and launch it full screen. Sorry if that is against any posting rules, I only meant to post the URL to link to the video, not embed it.

        It behaved for me.

        No, it’s not full screen for me – it’s just right.

    I would kill to do this! I’ve always wanted to go skydiving or hang gliding. Someday…

      I’d be curious how safe it it, because I’d love it too

        It doesn’t look particularly safe. I’d still do it, though.
