When base-jumping goes wrong

by Mathew on September 5, 2008 · Comments

This video more or less speaks for itself. Base jumper Hans Lange jumped off a mountain in Norway in a specially-designed winged suit, but towards the end of the freefall his parachute failed to open and he plunged down the mountain towards the rocks and lake below, until a tree broke his fall. He recorded the entire thing on a helmet-mounted camera.
