Man lands in water without parachute [video]

Imagine defying danger and jumping off a cliff without a parachute? This is the mode of flight with wingsuit, which is a suit that inflates with wind produced by speed and reduces the fall time. It works like wings for a free jump with the possibility of a quiet but still very risky and radical landing.

The sport is relatively young, but progresses at an incredibly fast pace. And the idea of ​​a mind-blowing landing on the water - with wingsuit and no parachute - has always been the goal of many adventurers, and was finally reached for the first time on September 30th by 31-year-old Raphael Dumont.

Before him, Gary Connery had already landed on a pile of cardboard boxes, as you can see on this link.

Already this video shows Raphael, an athlete fascinated by the flight and who does the impossible to overcome its limits. The jump took place on Lake Garda (Italy) with an anxious audience who was stunned by the adventurer's feat. Raphael has been training base-jumping and wingsuit flying for a few years, being a pro with over 600 successful flights to date.

The flight and the subsequent water landing were planned for several years with absolute attention to detail and extreme safety at all times.

The theory and calculations behind the landing site were based on the trajectory and approach of a landing plane. In addition to images at various angles, he also carried his GoPro for an even more amazing look. There is some speculation over the internet that the video is fake. What do you think?
