I found this wing suit video after the recent base jump death in Zion last week and have noticed similarities in fear.
When they jump off for the first few seconds, the free fall is the scariest part above the cliffs just before their wings get filled with air. As the flight levels out, fear levels reduce as the feeling has become adjusted to. Its similar to our fears in surgical decision, where many would say, no way am I jumping off a cliff, but then some of us have to....
The flight proceeds with a level of fear, then after all that excitement, they land so so smoothly.....
Ohhh, I want to do this..... More fear based decisions to conquer...I know, base jumping probably isn’t recommended for fusion to the pelvis. (smiley face)
Enjoy this fantastic video! BTW, this is Switzerland.
