The song isn't half bad either... first time I've heard it, and I bobbed my head a bit. And the clip, well... not sure what to say about that.

Yeah been seeing this one fora while. Guy is pretty ballsy.
I skydive, and my ultimate goal is to progress into a wingsuit. Not even on the horizon, but maybe someday.
That said, I'll never ever come close to that guy....the ground man.....the ground!

because even with that, base jumping is totally not the most dangerous sport you could do. the mortality rate of base jumpers is stupid high. if they get into it in their 20s, they rarely live to see their 30s.

I keep playing with the idea of getting the license. I can't imagine putting enough time and risk into it to get to that guy's level though. Wing-suits must be amazing though.

He's sedentary now, isn't he? 
Let him get killed doing what he loves. He'll get a bunch of hits on YouTube and then people will forget all about him.

Highly recommend it. Its remarkable how fast you can progress once you commit to it. Fork over the aprox. 1200 for your ground school+ 7 instructor jumps and you can be cleared for solo within a week easily.
From there, $20 jumps and you just keep getting better.
