Wingsuit Testing in Italy

JUL. 20, 2020: I’m in a life or death situation! Something can go VERY wrong or it can go great.

Oh I forgot to tell you where I am and what I was doing! Today, I am in Italy, specifically Dolomites, 32023 Rocca Pietore BL, Italy. I am wingsuit testing! 

If you don’t know what wingsuit flying is, it’s an extreme sport which basically means something could malfunction and I could die…or things can go great and I can live! Luckily I jumped and I survived! It’s very fun. All the wind is blowing in your face and you're just flying through the air. 

Modern day wingsuits were invented in the late 1990s. I would recommend people to try this but not to jump from a high place just because it’s a very dangerous sport, but can also be fun! Here’s the link to see what I experienced virtually:
