If you need further proof that wingsuit pilots have nerves of steel, check out the video below. It features Jokke Sommer and Halvor Angvik as they make an incredible flight down the Le Catogne in the Alps of France. At some points, the two men are so low to the ground that they’re actually skimming the tree tops on what they both described as one of the longest flights of their careers. Amazing stuff for sure, but it only reminds me of why I’d like to keep my feet firmly on the ground.
