This is called "projection" in psychology (google it), you are projecting on me what applies to yourself.

Post by: Irongrip400 on October 30, 2012, 04:02:28 PM: How long before people "fly" with these things? I mean, to go from what they did a few years ago to that guy landing in the boxes, soon someone will legitimately land with one of those. Crazy.

Post by: Da Freak on October 30, 2012, 04:28:51 PM: from the YT video description blurb:

Australian BASE jumper Dwain Weston was considered one of the world's best at the time. On October 5, 2003 while performing a proximity demonstration, Dwain Weston died slamming full speed into the Royal Gorge Bridge near Canon City in Colorado, USA.

At the time of the impact, Dwain Weston was flying at an estimated 160 km/h speed. Experts believe that Dwain Weston miscalculated his distance from the bridge and misjudged the tricky winds within the narrow gorge. After hitting the railing on what is the highest suspension bridge in the world, the BASE jumper dropped 90 meters onto the rocky bottom of the Royal Gorge.

Dwain Weston was only 30 year old when the incident took place. The slam into the bridge was so strong, it totally disintegrated him. Brutal, but he died doing what he loved. Sheer brutality of the impact along with the fact that Dwain Weston was considered to be the best wingsuiter in the world made his death video the most famous BASE jumping accident in history.
