Incredible Wingsuit Descent Ends With A Terrifying Crash

Incredible Wingsuit Descent Ends With A Terrifying Crash

Video: For every spectacular wingsuit video you see online, you have to assume there are at least 100 that didn’t go as well. They’re just rarely posted. But Eric Dossantos decided to share his recent trip down a mountain featuring some spectacular footage of his descent, until things went terribly wrong.

Thankfully, Dossantos survived this landing. But crashing into towering pine trees at 145km per hour left him with fractures, lacerations, head trauma and fractured ribs. If you want to help contribute to his hospital bills you can donate via this GoFundMe campaign. At the least, use this video as a reminder of just how dangerous this sport can be.
