Helmet Cam Captures The Moment A Wingsuit Jumper Smashes Into Trees [Video]

As an adrenalin junkie, I would love to do some 'wingsuiting' but I would definitely choose to do so with nothing growing out of the ground standing 20ft high

It’s not every day that someone can achieve the Jeb Corliss (if you don’t know what I am talking about, watch the videos here and here) and live to tell the tale.

But then again, if I have to choose between rocks and trees, I’d say trees are a safer choice.

Enter Eric Dossantos, BASE jumper from California who found new ways of staying high at the age of 30.

There isn’t much one can say about a man flying into trees at 90 m/h (okay hold on, that’s 144 km/h, holy shit that’s fast!) except that he spent three unconscious hours on the forest floor with “a scapula fracture, left neck abrasion, clavicle fracture, three left side rib fractures, head trauma and multiple lacerations”.

Eina.

I’ll let the video do the talking:
