This is nuts! Wingsuit base jump, lands in water, no chute!

Wingsuit flying is a relatively young sport but it progresses at an incredibly fast pace. The idea of a man completing a jump and landing on water without a parachute has been widely talked of within the wingsuit community since Gary Connery landed the first wingsuit jump without using a parachute. Gary’s jump and landing can be seen below.

This video shows another huge progression in wingsuit flying. Raphael Dumont, 31 from Chamonix (France), has always been fascinated by flight. This project is not just about flight though, it has always been about doing the impossible and pushing the boundaries of human possibility. What it does not show is the days of preparation, planning and hard work required to make it a reality, plus a lot of injuries!

The jump took place at Lake Garda (Italy) on September 30th 2013. Raphael has trained in BASE jumping and wingsuit flight for many years, he is a professional with over 600 successful flights to date and the jump was performed under professional supervision.

The flight and subsequent landing have been planned for several years with absolute attention to detail and safety at all times. The theory and calculations behind the landing have been based on the trajectory and approach of a plane landing. Please do not attempt wingsuit flying or to recreate such a landing as it is highly dangerous.

Taking the belly whacker to another level!!!!

My balls were scared for his

  one crazy f#(kn Frenchman he is!!!

The first vid doesn’t seem that legit to me for some reason?????

Looks like at one point when he’s just above the water, he’s got a wire, along with a pretty piss poor crowd in attendance, and the water looks so calm and smooth comin into it, then it’s as turbulent as a pair of K2’s under dacks when they show him Dog Paddlin!!!!!

Is there any vids of him hittin the water from the angle like in the box setup????? I wanna see that!!!!!
