Description
Jumper in question is jumping the higher exit on Titlis, he has exited and his legs have gone over his back causing him to exit unstable only a few seconds later he impacts the ledge that is only a few secs after this dangerous exit.
There is a lower exit only a few mins below that does not have a ledge as dangerous as the higher exit, If you are planning on jumping the high exit remember that a bad exit at this altitude will cause your body to impact the ledge.
