Wingsuit BASE Jumping in Brevent, France. Dos and Don’ts from those in the know. This wingsuit route was closed for a year. Too many pilots died here; others infringed on the flying community in Chamonix.
To fly here you must respect some simple rules that have been made so that everyone can enjoy the mountain safely alongside each other. Great advice from the guys responsible for re-opening the run, after long talks with the local big-wigs. Includes relevant links for weather, other flying activities and more.
This run is not for most wingsuiters, it’s not open all day and not advisable to jump in certain weather conditions. In fact, it’s not advisable to jump at all ! But if you’re even considering it, this is a must-read. Worth watching for everyone, to broaden understanding of the many factors that should be taken into account when deciding whether or when to make a wingsuit base jump. Sometimes it’s better just to take the cable car back down. Ignorance can be fatal… and in Brevant, it most probably will be.
