Fair enough; fucked up indeed. Though, embedding a set of three rings in your chest sounds curious. Talk about an integrated harness. Imagine the aerodynamic advantage!

Haha you the guy that does this is also a base jumper. Just spent a couple months hanging out with him in Thailand.
The idea of a suspension base jump is in the works

Wow, just when you think it's all been done...

Just make sure it is a low jump, over water, and have a rescue boat standing by. Because nipples don't float!

Currently the record for freefall suspension is 40M that is 40M until there is tension on the ropes. The plan is to work up to 100M of freefall before attempting a base jump. These guys are crazy Russians, of course they will make it happen
Watch some of their other video where they were experimenting with how few hooks they could use while jumping. 2 seemed to be ok but when he tried doing it with only one things get a little bloody.

So they want to go terminal and not just do a tard or the like? Seems to me that if they can do a 40 meter rope swing, they can do a tard. 100 meters sounds like they're shooting for terminal or maybe a short slider up delay. How the hell are they going to keep the fabric contained?
Re: [shveddy] BASE; now the second dumbest thing to do from an antenna
It will start off with a direct bag jump. The rope swing is a dynamic loading so it's hard to judge the snatch force.
We were discussing doing a bridge jump over water with a roundie and a direct bag deployment. With a lanyard attached to a climbing harness with a cross connector on the risers in case one or both side rip out of the skin.
Another one of their video
