It's really just one guy promoting himself. A lot of shittirring and weable-woble. Not to mention that he used footage without permission (basically stolen)
Most of the experienced basejumper in our community gave this video a negative response, but whuffos loved it (just as planed).

Don't forget to add IMHO

But really skilled jumpers in Russia with long history (10+ years) believe it's useful.

Pretty scary stuff

In my opinion this serves as a reminder to how fast things can go wrong even when you think you have it all under control. Those involved have seen some fucked up shit in their career for sure, like war veterans...

It isn't well edited or wrapped up in pink silk paper but shows the horrible reality of base jumping and I'm not surprised none of your experienced base jumping friends found it positive, because it isn't very entertaining and I suspect the goal wasn't to amuse anyone either...

I found this documentary very moving, and it sure stirred up some feelings, but that doesn't mean I have to dislike it.

I'm in the process of acquiring the lifestyle most of you guys have. Videos like this really help me, because after watching it I sat down for several hours rethinking my decision. It's easy to watch Jokke fly ridonkulous lines smoothly with his phoenix-fly-friends and say to yourself "hey that's fucking cool, i want to do this", so this "documentary" is a really nice contrast, a counter-argument even.

My dream to become a base jumper still stands and I thank you for posting this video, it helped at least one person on this planet to reconsider his goals in life.

I actually found this video really hard to watch. Is it just me or was any body else totally destracted by that awesome looking exit point over the guys shoulder while he was talking? I spent half the video cursing at the camera man to pan right and down.

I have 130 jump from (80 wing suits) and I considere this video very hard to watch but extremely useful.
I won't stop base, but it made me rethink seriously my practice (so, it may save an other persons).
Many of these fatality are consecutive of mystake I would never do -but I made few others...
They are many diferents type of base jumpers, cool, safe, relax, crazy, ect.
I decide that I will try to stick to the "safe one" , walking back down when not sure.
This video should be watch by all beginers, especialy the type " I want to do this line at Brevent -doesn't matter that is my second wing suit jump"

I can't get to this video what is it titled the link is not working for me

never mind just not available on Mobile devices

Hard video to watch but it shows the stuff you will see (hopefully not experience) if you keep jumping.

As a former jumper I know we typically only show the video where things worked out perfectly and keep the incidents from being viewed by the majority.

The unfortunate aspect of many extreme sports is that people do not want to invest the time to gain the experience needed to recognize a dangerous situation before it is too late.

I was part of a group that resulted in a fatality. Before that it was all fun and games. It really changed the way I looked at everything not just BASE. It was not why I quit jumping (herniated cervical discs did that) but it did slow me down a lot.

I do not know many long time BASE jumpers that do not have at least one horror story where they almost lost it all.

Be safe out there guys and remember to not be the guy who jumps when he knows he should walk away!

Like someone suggested, you can turn on the subtitle by clicking on “CC” on the bottom right.
My buddy (fluent in Russian) told me this is part 2.
This is part one. Great documentary.
