Just how close can a wingsuit pilot fly to the ground? That seems to be the question on a lot of people’s minds these days. This video gives us a frightening look at how far some are willing to push the envelope. It shows Brian Drake flying off the top of the ENSA Couloir near Chamonix, France and zipping down a gully just a few meters off the ground. Harrowing was the word that came to mind while I watched this.
