Here is a YouTube video (duration 2:56) about wingsuit flying in Chile - they really are “freefalling” down mountain slopes!
I speak some french, but not enough to fully translate the pilot’s comments (at 1:03 and 1:59). Can anyone help?
The audio is pretty bad and he’s not exactly the most eloquent speaker, but here’s what I got:
There are two words I can’t make out. The second one I think is “il faut s’appliquer” but I’m not sure. It translates as follows:
"*Wingsuit is like any other sport… recreation… without necessarily, as far as risks are concerned… you can also, if you want… what’s nice, is how easy it is in wingsuit… (?) to want to practice… between the guy who makes his first jump and me who flies close to the mountains… there are really differents jumps in wingsuit.
Personally, I think it demands a certain know-how. What’s difficult is learning how to fly like that. After, you have to apply yourself but it’s not necessarily very dangerous, I think.*"
It’s a bit choppy, but the original is like that too. Needs some editing.
