    Might need a bit of RT's input... but when they start landing like this I'll be impressed.

    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    Looks a bit suspect to me. Video of the landing for example, for such a major event is incredibly lacking in clarity and detail.

    If it had been on snow where the angle of the hill was close to the angle of flight I'd believe it, NZ's own Chuck Berry has been talking about it for years. Calm water is flat though and you can't yet fly a wingsuit that flat. Boeing would probably complain if you could. You're either going to bounce very hard and do the rag doll thing or you are going to submarine and decelerate so rapidly that the wind is knocked out of you and you try to take a massive gulp of air while under water with smashed ribs. Fuck. Anyone belly flopped off a 5m dive board?

    The obvious give away is of course that there is not a single Red Bull logo in the whole video.

    Now cardboard boxes, that's a different story............

    Yeah that doesn't look legit, is he landing on a trampoline or the water? =P

    There is a dude who has landed without a chute into a stack of cardboard boxes somewhere on the net.

    Yep I'm calling fake too. There is absolutely no valid reason why the most important part of the video is of the lowest quality with unnecessary cuts.

    That's some epic BestGore stuff right there. Props to the dude for filming it, and managing to remain so calm.

    I hope he recovers well though.
