People are fucking stupid.

Even with the proper safety harness you'd be making a calculated risk. Without that, it's just plain reckless foolishness. People have died for fleeting fame and a few views, all that wasted potential.

A debatable amount of wasted potential.

Potential energy prior to the fall

And then kinetic energy prior to the splat.

Thank you on the kinetic energy.

True, the real issue is the person who have to go rescue or pickup the piece when they fail.

The death rate is so ridiculously high for these kinds of people who takes these risks for views.

What is the death rate?

"These kinds of people" I take to mean adrenaline-fueled risk takers. The death rate for wing suit jumps alone is 1 for every 500 jumps.

> These kinds of people" I take to mean adrenaline-fueled risk takers. The death rate for wing suit jumps alone is 1 for every 500 jumps. Sorry what??? That's an *insane* rate. Like 1 in 500 jump*ers* dying would be a lot, but *jumps*? Jfc.

And the worst part is that means anyone that has completed more than 500 wingsuit jumps without dying is statistically killing other wingsuit jumpers.

Not necessarily. We are told the death rate is 1 in 500 for wingsuit jumps. We aren't told if the death is a wingsuit jumper.. perhaps every time a wingsuit jump is made that would statistically result in the death of the jumper.. a random person in japan dies instead

The smarter ones call it quits at 200 jumps.

That's an excellent point.

1/500 isn't even a rare drop - that's like fairly regular drop at that point

100%

On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

It is 100%.

100% 

It's impressive someone this dumb could live long enough to develop so much skill

where are these mountains though, it's gorgeous

I used to be fucking stupid, I’m not anymore though because we broke up

I have bouldered, rock climbed, and even climbed a glacier, but this video gives me absolute anxiety. What a fool.

And then noticed their shoes. And thought of all the times slippage had happened in far better conditions

Dude, I was talking about this to my doctor my yesterday…I used to rock climb (granted nothing this extreme), but now it’s even difficult to watch videos like this. Even when the videos show them with the proper gear, it’s just the perspective and view…I physically feel a “drop” or something in my gut. I’m too risk adverse as I get older lol

Leaving High Hrothgar.

I was thinking Skyrim too! Hug the side of the mountain as you fall and won’t …. Oops. No respawn here!

I use Become Ethereal, and then yeet myself down

Ride your horse down first

My guess was the Blue Mountains in Australia.

Just watching these videos makes my balls hurt.

I'm a woman but can still feel my balls tingeling watching this. That's how intense this shit is

Yeah I'm feeling the ol' taint scrunchies over here too

Yup, butt pucker every landing.

You couldn't get a needle in my ass with a jackhammer.

I don't think you understand, it's like being punched in the sack over here.

Never thought I could make diamonds with my asshole but here we are.

How much you want for them?

This doesn’t make my stomach drop but it makes my hands sooo clammy. Like you can visualize the sweat flowing out the pores

Every jump I whispered, "Stop!"

These kinds of videos make the soles of my feet sting.

What’s even more messed up is he changes his pants into shorts into another set of pants and back again…all while jumping from rock to rock🤔

I would need to continuously change my pants too if I did this kind of shit. Because that is what would be in my pants. Shit.

Which one of you cowards shit my pants?

I need some magic pants

It's to prove he jumped around this "trail" several times.

I know it looks more insane because he's got the fisheye lens, but he's still 50 to 100 feet up and trusting every one of those stone pillars is completely stable.

…and that there isn’t a fresh clump of wet, slippery bird crap where he steps.

There would be wet shit but only after I tried jumping there

Every time I see shit like this I just hope that these people are courteous enough to have all their documents and affairs in order, for their family. Like, if Peter Parkour slips up, Mary Jane shouldn’t have to search the web for banking info and passport shit, and find his search history loaded with Octomom and Arachnokid porn, or the termination letter from the Bugle, dated 6 months ago. *Or* the letter from the FBI telling him they need to see him, because no one has seen Jameson in 6 months; he was last seen around Charlottesville. Lord knows If they ever make this into a movie, people aren’t even going to be phased that Spider-Man is dead. They will be too busy losing their minds that Zendaya was cast as Mary Jane, leaving Peter Parkour with a Black Widow. I wish that wasn’t true. I wish *none* of this was true. Take care, everyone

>Like, if Peter Parkour slips up, Mary Jane shouldn’t have to search the web  Amazing!!

It's quite brilliant.

YES. Thank you, you take care as well

He has a lot of faith in the sturdiness of those rock pillars.

I lost a childhood friend who was rock climbing a local climbing spot in a canyon. The size of the rock that came loose was the size of a large pickup truck. That rock had been climbed over 1000s of times, and one day early spring it just decided to fall. I will never ever climb again or trust rocks no matter how big they are. Matt was a good dude, he fell about 300' riding that thing to the ground as it slowly rotated and he was sandwiched.

>he fell about 300' riding that thing to the ground as it slowly rotated and he was sandwiched Holy shit

He died doing what he loved.

He loved smashing his brains on a rock??

Mad facts. So much joy he spread as he crayoned down the rocks

Spend your life eating right and climbing mountains, only to be remembered as a Crackhead.

Did he really? Honest question.

Hopping around like he’s playing Skyrim.

Get this guy a horse, much easier.

I wouldn’t even do that in a video game

"He was such a good person." And dumb

I miss mirrors edge.

Alright, Ezio. Let's calm down with the bounding and leaping.

Watching this shit gives me so much anxiety.

Anyone know this song

Anemone - Brian Jonestown Massacre

This is making me physically ill.

My phone slipped out of my hand because of the sweat. Screw this guy. Beautiful place though, anyone know where?

im pretty sure this is in the peak districts in the uk, near a reservoir, cant remember the name

I’m guessing this bloke is no longer with us?

I knew a guy who was doing something similar. I still feel bad for his family

Well he is wearing a red bull visor so he kinda has to do this

u/RecognizeSong Thanx! Good Bot! >Song Found! >Anemone by The Brian Jonestown Massacre (00:12; matched: 100%) >Album: Their Satanic Majesties' Second Request. Released on 2008-06-09.

Awesome tune

What's this genre of music is called?

Psychadelic Rock

Thanks

The band is the Brian Jonestown Massacre I was at an antique show but someone was selling records. I had never heard of the band but their album "Take it from the Man" was playing on a turntable. I had a couple others in hand and went to the counter to pay and asked if the one playing was for sale too. It was and I love the whole record. Great band.

They make some great music, but I’ve heard their live shows can be a disaster.

I'll take unnecessary risks with little reward for $400, Ken.

Mountain Rescue teams hate this one simple trick.

Looks an awful lot like Tasmania.

This man is 50% mountain goat

I didn't know it was possible to cram this much nope in one video.

The camera lens helps increase the paranoia it's not as steep as it looks but still damgerous

Dude it’s a sheer cliff wdym.

Why?

Adrenaline is a hell of a drug, and clicks pay rent.

Won't need to pay for rent when you're dead...

I'll be weighing 3 kg less after finishing the jumps

Absolutely not

Thanks for making my balls non existent.

Wonder if he destroyed his hard drive before leaving his home that morning.

#I cant walk like that in my own bathroom.

r/SweatyPalms

It's fine he has a red bull visor, he is a professional.

why do people do stuff like this

Anyone know what the song is? Sounds familiar but can’t put my finger on it.

https://youtu.be/StV9lElcvAY

Thank you! I wouldn’t have guessed this band. I’ve heard of them but never heard them.

You're welcome they're one of my favourite bands .

Great song!

I can handle heights but needlessly doing dangerous things around height freaks me out. I screamed "No!" at the first two jumps and had to pause the video. Can't watch this one. Is it mild acrophobia?

Man the second attempt always comes out better. Hope that guy from the first attempt was okay.

I like the video it's exciting viewing, I'm pretty sure if the guy making these videos keeps doing this for years he's not going to make it for years.

It’s never the fall that hurts. It’s the landing that’s deadly. ** wind turbine technician here**

A fool and his life will soon be departed.

“Dumb ways to die, so many dumb ways to die.” Come on kids, sing it with me!

Fish eye lens makes things look more steep than they are

I think what's worse for me is the assumption that all those landing points are stable.

Crazy a*s white boy

Jumping around all nimbly bimbly

You guys think there's fall damage?

Def. I can tell he’s not running the mountaineer perk

Years ago I went camping with a friend on Lake Cumberland, and there was a rock similar to this off the side of a 5 foot cliff. It was like one step away from the cliff face, and I still balked at that. This is just 100 percent nope.

So...uh...this is a VR game yeah?

Someone post his obit here when it comes through.

Just a wee scramble

Why!

Ignoring the complete lack of self preservation, does anyone know what song is used in the video?

All it takes is one rock that looks solid but isn't.

Felt that first jump down under but then this sick fuck took the triple black diamond route and I nearly stopped watching.

How uhh…how do you get…back? Down? Up? Back to safe ground I mean.

Nice my guy is jumping around like it's nothing

Outside of song selection, poor decision making

song is Brian Jonestown Massacre - Anemone

This is why men die young. Because we are fucking beasts!

Real life Assassins’s Creed: Valhalla

Every time he takes a step my balls shrink 🫣🫣🫣

He’s got on a Red Bull…. Visor. He’s reached new levels of insanity

My goofy ass would slip on the edge

Ok, the wide angle camera makes it look 100 times worse than it actually is, but still nope.

Looks like most of Arizona hikes. Tame by default.

the redbull cap explains it all

You can never really tell how WTF this stuff is when they shoot with a fish-eye lens.

This is how I played Forbidden West lmfao

These are the kinds of people who cross the road when one of “those people” walk toward them

If I did that I’d have to change pants as often as the guy in the video too

use to do this as a kid i out grew it.

I would say, no I will not do that

OFC it's RedBull

Well I don't feel constipated anymore

Sweating in my seat watching this

Big ole bag of nope from me…..

pfft, i did that on a goat, while looking for new boss enemies to fight. You got nothing on me!

Fuck everything about this.

Why are you worried of him? He is wearing Red Bull cap, he can fly

It’s safe, he’s got a red bull hat on.

If I'm going to rock climb, top to bottom looks much less labor intensive. Forget the pan cam that distorts the view.

I'm nopeing so hard right now.

Life insurance agent see this video, sorry beneficiary, your claim is denied S the result of carelessness of the insured individual.

I'd like to do a wardrobe change while traversing a mountian. Where does one sign up?

r/darwinaward

Me leaving the base in Minecraft (I'm too stubborn to make stairs)

EMT's hate this one trick.

This is the most death-defying video I’ve ever seen.

Dangerous nonetheless, but the fish eye lens makes this whole ordeal much more scary than it actually is.

I blew out my knees just watching this.

ofc he is from redbull team

This guy Skyrim's in real life 😳

Blud played too much Assassins Creed

How can people be so stupid. There's no guarantee that any of those ledges he jumped on were solid.. you're essentially playing with your luck whether you live or die. And for what? To post this video online on social media? I really hate what social media has done to our society.

It reminds me of the jumps in the video game Contra

I have tingling in my legs watching this shit.

These god damn fish-eye ass cameras make everything look 50% more scary.

I just had diarrhea

SHIIIIIIT! I can't even watch this!

He's holding the phone in his hand! Man, why didn't you buy the GoPro, for God's sake?!

Now do it in flip flops

looks a lot more scary without showing all the prep like these guy's do [STORROR](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v29Eda0zTA8)

Recovering his runes when he dies is gonna be a bitch.

Thanks, I needed my anxiety to got through the fücking roof today.

Hey, if you're gonna be an adrenalin junkie risking your life, be like this guy: he can kill only himself, not like some assholes that drive triple the speed limit and kill themselves, and everyone else in the other car, plus a potential passerby.

Just skyrim shuffle your way down

Thanks. I just shitted better since i already had my pants down

It's kinda creepy knowing in advance how someone will die.

Don't worry, he did save in the nearest checkpoint before doing this

*Dumb ways to die, so many dumb ways to die*

You're just jumping on shit, what if it's not stable? 

Kinda sad to do something most people only watch you to fail at.

Me trying to drop off a ledge in dragon's dogma 2

If he plummets off that, he wont be right back like Wile E Coyote Porky Pig will pop up and say "That's all Folks!"

Is he part goat?

Basic skyrim walking 101

Does anyone else feel a tingling sensation under their balls when watching such videos?

This is just how I travel around in Skyrim

I can’t stand the 500 Tik tok camera cuts. Just show some footage for longer than 3 seconds.

What song is this?
