What’s it like to jump from the top of a 2500 meter (8200 ft) mountain and glide back down to the base using a wingsuit? Take a look at this video to find out. Shot near Chamonix in France, this adrenaline-inducing clip follows wingsuit pilot Brandon Mikesell as he flies down Le Brévent, soaring past trees and through rocky canyons as he goes. Along the way, we get a true sense of the speed that is achieved during a flight, which must be incredibly exhilarating.
