WithOUT using a Parachute
With a shoute it wouldnt be nothing special... But it is much more interesting to see wingsuit jumps in the mountains.
Ooh, the magic title editor has been at work!
Yes, type in haste and repent for a while with MP.net non-editable titles. Until the magic editor stops by!

do it without the box's i dare ya!
I once jumped from the sixth stair and broke my arm. In fairness, there were no cardboard boxes to cushion my fall. I lost my virginity some 11 years later.
Special Forces can learn a trick or two from this gentleman. (Sigh)

What's that? Always have 18,000 boxes to cushion your fall in the landing zone?
He was in 3 Para.
Crazy from that high up the LZ Boxes must of looked tiny!
Sure he lived. But he's still an idiot.
That's not clever, he used cardboard boxes to catch him
I thought he landed on his own :P
Class act, right there. Very brave man."I have been training and planning for this record attempt for many years now and I am so proud to have achieved a world first."
He continued: "I want to thank everyone involved for their support and belief in me because this really has been a team effort."
- from the article.to become the first person to jump from such a height and live without deploying a parachute.
Not even close to the first. The first to do it as a plan and with the option of not doing it? Maybe.
Still, hats off to the jump and the jumper.
