@aboutokillakid a gust of wind hit him when he was jumping off the sunrise tower in switzerland and he hit the ground. But he didn't die instantly, he died two days later.

WOWWWW!!! That is just Intense!!! The flying squirrel idea, brilliant...... Im sure this wingsuit flying will be modified somehow, thanks Ueli, you will always be missed,RIP.
not talking only about this vid, but about the whole youtube videos. Why people dislike things that has no reason to be disliked?? someone who watches this probably was looking for it. It's like there's a secret community of dislikers that exists only to dislike videos, damn! And yes, it was a relief..
I actually started crying from watching this video. Just the look of flying in general and how easy him and his team do it make flying in general much more tangible for the human race.
According to other comments, he died from wind that hit him and knocked him off balance. If this is true, then he truly lived life doing what most others wish and want to do. May you rest in peace.
Two weeks before he died he was talking in a docu in Switzerland about "the calculated risk" and the safety of base jumping. He miscalculated the risk when he jumped from Sunrise tower in Zurich. He should have just said "no" there cause of the bad conditions this day. But you have to satisfy your sponsors. Sad.
WoW He died... I didnt know when I watch. That's a shame, he looks like a nice crazy person. I'll be happy if I can do at least half of this things, this the way I wanna die. Rest in Peace crazy fella.
@yicancu56 On November 11, 2009, during a jump from the Sunrise Tower in Zurich, Switzerland, a gust of wind hit him and he lost control of his jump. He hit the ground and was seriously injured. He died on November 13th.
@toonimiKID that too is wrong, here is the footage: watch?v=eB-Nq0gdVwM&feature=related he hit the lower edge of the building and got out of control because of that, no gust of wind did hit him!
@squarcitto He obivously had respect for his life seeing as he did what he enjoyed most in life, even though of the danger. He lived his life to the fullest, is that not having respect for your life? Is instead living a 9-5 respect for your life?
@dangervision I fly flexwings microlight in my spare time, I don't jump from blocks or cliffs... Till now I'm still alive, that's the only difference... I enjoyed a lot his thoughts, his speech, a real truely birdman, aviator to the bones... But still a dickhead for me, as everyone who find something jumping from a 80 mt elevation... Clear my viewpoint?
He lived life for the moment,admittedly, he made a mistake, a small eror in judgement which took his life, the most daring thing you'll do today is type some more crap on here.
You know, I like to think that Ueli lived with such vivacity and boldness that those of us that make it to 100 years are still going to be hard-pressed to live as much as he did. Don't rest in too much peace Ueli, I doubt it would suit you!
Ueli Gegenschatz (January 3, 1971 November 13, 2009, Zurich) was a Swiss BASE jumper, paraglider and skydiver who held several world records.
On November 11, 2009, during a jump from the Sunrise Tower in Zurich, Switzerland, a gust of wind hit him and he lost control of his jump. He hit the ground and was seriously injured. He died on Friday the 13th of November.
he has much fun and can't express it to those who have not tried this but he tries you only live a short while so live,but this sport is not right for everyone,dangerous
@Elazul2k Yes he died jumping the Sunrise Tower in Zurich, Switzerland in 2009. He lost control under canopy and hit the pavement rather hard on landing.
The world is a better place because the thinkers and dreamers of the world tell people like mkvlmhdy3k to fuck off. For that, I am thankful. That is all.
Well I suppose it the insurance broker bit explains why he wanted to jump of buildings and mountains. The irony of it all is also not lost on me, sad as the story might be.
You idiot, that is a very poor way to talk about a deceased person. Especially about one that is as nice as Ueli. People will sure rejoice when you die.
BSBD Ueli (and Steve Harrington - two major losses in two days). I just cried so hard watching this video. I wish that people who burn so bright didn't burn out so young. It's just cruel.
He looks like Quentin Tarantinos cooler older brother
