That could end up being a pretty expensive mistake.
I'm guessing chopper blades impacting a human body during flight would probably fuck 'em up pretty good...
Stunt performed just above the Lauterbrunnen valley, site of probably the highest accidental death rate of wingsuiters in the world......
And, this........

Seems reasonable. I'm not helicopter mechanic/engineer, though, so I really can't say for sure.

It looks like a good way to get a short ride in a long Hearse to me........
IIRC, the guy is the son of the owners of (what was) "Skydive Kapowsin", now relocated to Shelton WA. They had a Cessna Caravan that they short term leased out to a group of jumpers for a weekend trip to Idaho. On the return trip, the plane crashed near White Pass, killing all ten on board;

It was pilot error and in no way were the owners of the plane at fault. Sometimes, there are enough clues and warning signs that one should take heed of them. I love flying. However, I have zero interest in jumping out of, or off of anything.

Wow.. Looks Cold . That some pretty hotshit relative flying with Wingsuit/turbine porter and getting into open door . Those Redbull guys got hell of sponsor budget given to them for stunts and they have to constantly push envelope to keep it new . That is some really good confident flying from both parties involved wingsuits and pilot .
That Lauterbrunnen valley is just amazing post card beautiful and pretty hard to describe unless you actually see it and how it is a valley surrounded on both sides with huge cliffs and 900 ft. waterfall downtown . Also the small communities up in the high elevation cliffs that are land-locked except for cable train or helicopter for moving there larger objects they need .

Yep, and the Swiss have it dialed in.
Lauterbrunnen/Grutschalp/Murrenbahn. Transfer of inbound/outbound passengers and freight. Like a Swiss watch;

Will be there on 1/12/18. Can't wait.
BTW, Pilatus have announced the end of manufacturing of the PC-6 Turbo Porter. Sad day.

I wonder if he had to acount for the added weight of his giant brass balls when he made that jump.
Depends on composition of the helicopters blades. In any case human body is deformed. UH-1 series has blades with titanium spar. Some have composite blades. In Vietnam we could take out small trees/limbs with minimal damage to the UH-1s blades.
We had a gook run fill bore into the tail rotor, canoed his head/chest, the bird survived the gook did not.
