[wiidiwii]

whats the name of the song

[schmittathomy]

Very good!!

[digitalkicks]

nice music-nice jumps..i'm jealous :)

[danielbrown1998]

that mushroom is so high at 10000 ft and i cant bear standing on top of a 100m water tower

[MrSingerCindy]

i did notice a cross on the top..... where else do you put the death memorial?

[icedawg96]

Stupid Americans Base Jumping is just as dangerous as Hockey...

[madmangtr1]

@icedawg96 Once you guys grow up and your frontal cortex is fully developed you will realize how stupid this is.....Smart American

[russkij77777]

wow!!! what can i say!!! clip is great!

[usaiscollapsing]

Would be funny if the Federal Council of Switzerland decided to jump 20,000 feet to the ground with no parachute.

What a waste of a nation, land of parasites.

[XEinstein]

Great music!

[kidi1232]

OMG i think i have been in that valley (0:20 - 0:43)

i even saw one base-jumper with a wingsuit - i thought he is gonna crash on the opposite cliff.

but however - i think there are many similar areas in switzerland. [ i cant even remember its name, maybe i'll check later]

@kidi1232 lauterbrunnen:)

[kidi1232]

@garanger99 thank you very much, you are right.

[garanger99]

@kidi1232 your welcome

[louise3192]

tat was banging hot

[kranfnus]

What's the horizontal speed?

[OceanOfMadness]

About a 100 MPH i think

[Sphinn]

"Where did we park the car?"

[hippierevolution2010]

that is fucking sick dude

[DeBuddha]

I just tell you that the first Basejumper jumping from the Mushroom was Ueli Gegenschatz from Switzerland... Don't bet if you are not shure :-)

[ollowert]

eat me shit boy

[uwedengler]

Great vid and jumping!

Amazing how you access the Mushroom.

[borsak7]

Respect...

[transdrole]

I wanna push that huge boulder on 1:30

[MaxtheGrande]

No im not an astronaut i just have 3 brothers who are in the swiss Army paratroopers. they take me climbing when i go to europe so why dont you be quiet because you have no idea of what some kids do here Climbing isnt that extreme ok skydiving and bassjumping is but my brothers take care of me

[gertert2]

Офигеть видео, места тоже живописные.....

[MaxtheGrande]

i have done it with someone, basically have expirience

[Tim91092]

Yeah.. right..

You're 14 and have done *everything*.

Rock climbing, base jumping... Mh. You're an astronaut, too? :D

[revo33kid]

Brilliant,

great,

crazy,

want to do it!!!

[Jesusthemiraclebaby]

um no seriously Totalhigh is right, the fatality rate for climbers who go above a certain height ( 10,000 feet + i think it was )is extremely high and quite scary. Its like one in four or something equally bad, if one in four basejumpers died it would be carnage :(

[MaxtheGrande]

dude im 14 and i do 12000 feet or above its not so dangerous, but then again u have 2 have 10 yrs expirience, and of course be swiss :)

[freeskier95]

what song is this

[grenzmedial]

its "take california" from propellerheads. album: Decksandrumsandrockandroll

a very cool album made in the 90ies i think... check it out

[TotalHigh]

This kind of sport isn't as dangerous as climbing multipitchroutes in the alps...the fatality rate in basejumping is very low compared to other kinds of sports

[majorsnag]

your a fuckin' idiot. "my sports more dangerous than yours". I bet your dad can beat up evreyone elses dad as well eh.

[TotalHigh]

Mind your language and try to keep your countenance, although I know that it's difficult for the typical 08/15-Youtube-User. As I do both kinds of sports - climbing

AND (wingsuit) skydiving - I feel like having at least a bit of knowledge to give a statement like the one below. Okay ?

Thanks.

[majorsnag]

well if you feel like having at leat a bit of knowledge, go out n' get some.

[yamahaducks]

i totally agree with you, theres much more dangers in multipitching than in basejumping. basejumping seems like a walk in the park after you've big wall climbed.

[guernica69]

Hmmm, maybe. I've climbed a few walls (granted in "safe" Yosemite, not the Alps) but BASE jumping seems way more dangerous. Am I missing something? Because I'd love to do it someday if the risks can be mitigated!

[gigglefool]

they need to learn how to com in 4 landings without parachutes that would be sweet!!!

[dockaiser]

Base jumping and apnoe diving.

The ultimate kick you can get.

[prorider169]

these guys ara psyko!! should cool to try

[armstrongw5]

how can you possibly scout climbing routes at that speed?

[Odin717]

what song is this? i love it

[SparkyHughes1]

hey no no no no.

Switzerland is actually amazing. i aint write that crap before.

chers

[RamtinK]

fuck off dude..if they decide to do it..let them do it wa do u mean LAWS? u fuckhead lol

[ffairlane57]

People should not do this, theY could die. there should be laws against this. DO THE RIGHT THING, AND CHOOSE SAFE SPORTS.

[nomo515]

suck it bitch.

[guailuppa]

The right thing is the thing that you feel.if you don't feel it ,don't do it.

[v642336]

On the plus side, this bodes well for seniors and computer literacy.

[WarriorOfTime]

Don't participate in something you are not comfortable with. If you are comfortable, and have been trained thoroughly there is no reason not to do it. Just know how dangerous it is.

[WestsideMercy]

god hates you with a passion...

[Dreadpiraterobbers]

lol your the kind of person who looks both ways, doesnt run with scissors and is scared to go outside. ffairlane57 dude if people dont do this then life is boring as hell. i mean what are we gonna watch on youtube bowling?

[cubanconfusion]

lol

[josselitro]

boring? 0:50

[ziggafoola]

stay indoors dude ,,dont get off the lounge chair,, you might stub your toe, with an attitude like yours you might aswell lay down and die now,,,its better to live and die than to die and not lived

[erez1979]

out of wikipedia, english version:

Wings were first used in the 1930s as an attempt to increase horizontal movement. between 1930 and 1961, 72 of the 75 original birdmen died trying their wingsuits. Some of these so-called 'birdmen', most notably Clem Sohn and Leo Valentin, claimed to have glided for miles and inspired dozens of imitators.

In the mid 1990s, French skydiver Patrick de Gayardon (nicknamed "DeG")... he planted the seed that grew a new generation of birdmen.

[Biketeufel]

du arsch bsit nur neidisch...

SparkyHughes1 you can suck my di**

[sloupizu]

Idiot

[CofCGuy]

"Take California" by Propellerheads is the song.

Great video!

[gregleb0ss]

and so ugly when they have to send whats left of ur body to ur mother

[gregleb0ss]

u guys r sick & suicidal

[trozzle1]

yet FUCKING AWESOME, i can honestly say that if i could choose any way to leave this life, i would be the result of freefall :) so peaceful

[joekuta]

If you think this is sick & suicidal you live a very sheltered life.

Leave your home, your car, your job, your shelter.

[gregleb0ss]

lol im no pussy, but u got to admit this is one of the most dangerous hobbies u can possibly have, i said that because i live in switzerland and there are more and more tourists killing themselves in the mountains because of inapropriate training, material etc... or simply extremely dangerous hobbies like base jumping

[joekuta]

OK, you meant untrained wingsuit basejumpers are sick&suicidal. I agree!

[gregleb0ss]

yeah, although i heard about very experienced base jumpers killing themselves too, didn't the nr1 basejumper kill himslef a lil while ago??? lol admit it, its totaly dangerous

[joekuta]

I will agree with you,

with the definition of sick meaning DAAAAAAMMNNNNNNNN!

[gregleb0ss]

;) right, altough spendind ur life at mcdonald's or smoking a pack of cigarettes a day is probably way more dangerous, and u don't get the thril, lol just be carefull next time u jump off my beautifull montaine heee did u see the swiss jet man? even more crazy

[thedownloadz]

What are the altitudes of some of these jumps?

[GamerJohn]

I love this video. Great editing job. The choice in the music was a great fit!

[Alexzerog]

excellent!!
