Description

Jerad's exit was too steep (unskilled), and he was not able to get his wingsuit flying in time to out fly the bottom and impacted nothing out.

This Jump is in the top 3 of advanced jumps for any wingsuit pilot in the world.... Please guys if you need to jump this exit then do your homework... You must have no issues with exiting or flying without stalling.. This is not a forgiving exit and it has killed many wingsuit pilots (Even Advanced with 100's of wingsuit base jumps)

Just because the exit is there doesn't mean you MUST jump it......
