- milkshaker, on 01/04/2009, -7/+932***** never doubt batman
- HiImFromReddit, on 01/03/2009, -22/+881Holy *****, I guess batman really COULD fly with those wings that pop out...I always thought that was ***** but I guess not.
- arichard, on 01/03/2009, -13/+763"At the beginning of wingsuit base jumping, we were trying to get as far from the wall as possible, so basically clearing up the whole thing, and now it's getting boring so we play around."
I've always wanted to play around at terminal velocity. - AlphaDrake, on 01/04/2009, -16/+571It's falling... with style
- fmlive, on 01/03/2009, -13/+428Wow this was awesome. Best thing I've seen on digg today.
- marcus1060, on 01/04/2009, -10/+406I prefer to wait a little longer into 2009 to choose the one video I watch, thank you.
- hoodoodave, on 01/04/2009, -7/+381Man, I can't believe I already wasted my one video on this.
I was just gonna watch the dramatic chipmunk again this year. - Smoble, on 01/04/2009, -37/+330"That's not flying, that's falling with style." -Toy Story
- evergreen22, on 01/04/2009, -6/+255That wasn't flying! That was... falling with style!
- inactive, on 01/04/2009, -2/+250What if I saw it in 2008? Can I choose a different one for 2009 be to it?
- inactive, on 01/04/2009, -22/+270Be it this? WTF?
- stupidcatdog, on 01/04/2009, -4/+218Witchcraft!
- moviscop, on 01/04/2009, -5/+202That is amazing, I'm buying a suit and jumping off my roof.
- Kornstalx, on 01/04/2009, -6/+187Did Yoda write this headline?
- g33b33, on 01/04/2009, -0/+168The walk to the top each time would kill me.
- StorytoShare, on 01/03/2009, -51/+219Simply Wow.
- hoowahman, on 01/04/2009, -6/+174This title was used on reddit as well. Bad copying techniques.
- NitrousFlare, on 01/04/2009, -36/+189Oldie but a goodie.
- inactive, on 01/04/2009, -29/+141Buried as a Duplicate story.
http://digg.com/extreme_sports/Wingsuit_Base_Jumpi ... - m3mn0n, on 01/04/2009, -2/+113today? in months for me.
I miss all the good submissions lke this and end up seeing all the comics, kittens, and general crap. - rybo1187, on 01/04/2009, -3/+106Just watching this got my adrenaline going...I could not imagine the feeling of being that close to a cliff wall at terminal velocity...Or any other velocity for that matter.
- wickensworth, on 01/04/2009, -1/+103I got impatient and now I have to wait until 2010 to see another video
- Gnar04, on 01/04/2009, -2/+97thats why moms arent invited. anywhere.
- wild, on 01/04/2009, -2/+96Except to my house...
- Devroush, on 01/04/2009, -6/+99non-direct link: http://vimeo.com/1778399
- Hraes, on 01/04/2009, -6/+90No.
- UltimateCrouton, on 01/04/2009, -4/+87I'm pretty sure you'll be alone on this one, being the only person to have actually seen the Tomb Raider movies.
- noarcher, on 01/04/2009, -1/+77give me five minutes, I'll be there with my camera!
- MOJIRA, on 01/04/2009, -2/+78What say you?
- jasdf, on 01/04/2009, -2/+76(10000'-1500' parachute open altitude)/5280' = 1.7 miles
1.7mi/60mph = .028 hours
.028hours = 1:42 min:sec
100mph forward velocity * .028 hours = 2.8 miles horizontal from jump point
2.8mi/1.7mi = 1.65:1 glide ratio
Reality puts the glide ratio closer to 2:1, but the 60mph and 100mph velocities are estimates. - kss42, on 01/04/2009, -0/+66Yeah, but if you watch to the end, they had to deploy parachutes to land safely. Batman just FWOOM crashes right through the window.
- HyperJack, on 01/04/2009, -2/+65How about zero velocity?
- dzneill, on 01/04/2009, -3/+64Bad title, awesome video.
- trixyfox, on 01/04/2009, -0/+61To infinity and beyond!
- rickyisawesome, on 01/03/2009, -29/+89yeah, that was awesome. for a second i was thinking, what if they could put rollerblades on and land, but then i saw how insanely fast he buzzed by that road and no, no way they could do it without a parachute, what was i thinking.
- inactive, on 01/04/2009, -4/+64How can I go from here (having never even skydived before) to there? Skydiving doesn't seem all that interesting to me. But this. OMG this is exactly what I'd love to be able to do.
Alas. - mrfreeziexp, on 01/04/2009, -14/+72this was ripped directly from reddit, headline and all. buried for laziness.
- chrisduser, on 01/04/2009, -1/+58Dugg up because of this:
http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1772849
They could probably land on a flat runway, but I'm pretty sure it would be extremely dangerous. Someone should try it. - inactive, on 01/04/2009, -0/+57Seems to me it'd be smart to learn how to skydive before even attempting this... Kinda like learning how to walk before you can fly?
- Ladymongoose, on 01/04/2009, -5/+62Speaking from a strictly human point of view, that's totally amazing..speaking from a mother's point of view, I don't think I could watch my son do this without having a heart attack.
- RemarkableRyan, on 01/04/2009, -1/+55Best thing all year, so far...
- whazdown, on 01/04/2009, -3/+55...why would that be entertaining?
- dawnraid101, on 01/04/2009, -0/+51We are but men, ROCK!!!!
- bkkenny, on 01/04/2009, -2/+51So basically you're looking forward to watching somebody die...
- MOJIRA, on 01/04/2009, -4/+52Glide, not fly.
I always imagined Batman climbing a 100 flights of stairs to get to the top of the building, then saying "all this for a few seconds of badassedness.... totally worth it". - iNiz, on 01/04/2009, -3/+51Toy Story?
- Betrayal, on 01/04/2009, -3/+51Angelina did everything already plus gave birth to over 100 children and adopted another 100.
- memper, on 01/04/2009, -1/+42They were one of the first to offer personalized presentation pages with 720 HD multipass encoding on the flv format. Plus, Youtube is simply an ugly mess even with its new HD option. People concerned with the presentation quality of their content turn to Vimeo.
- rinote, on 01/04/2009, -0/+39This is not the greatest comment in the world, this is just a tribute.
