Personally I’d say cave diving. I was contemplating between that and free climbing soloing but I honestly rather fall to my death than drown in a claustrophobic, dark, cold, silted up cave.
You’re probably talking about proximity flying. I’ve done a bunch of wingsuit flying, in groups, from a plane. Skydiving but with wingsuits. With all of the correct training and gear, it felt completely safe.
I never BASE jumped, but when I was skydiving a lot I was considering giving it a go, but still leaning towards the ‘nah that’s probably a bit too dangerous for me’ side.
Then there’s base jumping with a wingsuit… Something that if I had gotten into base jumping, would still have probably been too scary.
Then, about 100x more dangerous and terrifying than all of that, is proximity flying - wingsuit base, with the intention of staying close to terrain the whole time. These psychos fly through valleys, between trees etc…
Knowing what I do about how tricky it is to fly a low-performance, gentle easy wingsuit in a stable formation, the idea of flying these bigger, twitchier high performance wingsuits through a valley just seems suicidal. Absolutely nope.
Yeah thanks, I meant the proximity flying with a wingsuit where they fly very close to the terrain. I live close to a mountain where they are doing this. The videos are stunning but we hear about accidents regularly in local media. If something happens your done. No thx: https://youtu.be/QKMkhCsgsas
