He had on a green suit - still looked green :-)
Fake!
Appreciate the good idea for C-Span call-ins.
Effective activism from America loving patriots needed now, more than ever, to ensure a free republic.
Once.

Heart rate only 148?
Glad he was successful for his wife, kid and those on the scene sake.
Hopefully this won’t result in copycat stunts.
3 min clip of the whole jump

You’re right on mark. Since this outstanding jump is over and it’s the end of this thread, it won’t hurt now to post a quick thank you about the Cspan post. I thought about not posting it here, but I knew there’d be a lot of members here posting and I wanted as many as possible to see it (and perhaps come back later and copy it -for their own use over the next 3 months till the election). And I knew that if someone didn’t want to see a Cspan post, they could easily skip to the next post in a nano second, lol. And that georgia girl seems neurotic and unstable, but oh well. Again, thanks for your comment my friend. Go Trump Go!
I'll bet not. Way too dangerous. There probably won't be another person performing a jump like this any time soon.
Totally awesome!
I used to skydive. I can’t anymore, guaranteed cardiac event on exiting the aircraft, and I can’t afford to have any more of those.
This and BASE jumping, no thanks.
I remember when Super Dave went on a ride with Ray Charles(?).
I also remember “balloon ball” and the pile-driver.
Agreed.
My feeling has always been that we have no right to put our lives in jeopardy needlessly.
We did not create our lives - our lives are a gift from God - we have no right to put them in danger unless to protect it...
Bet he was a Berny-ac.
Nope. He has more balls than me.
How about you?
Rumor on good authority he made it
You’re a braver one than I in leaving a good airplane on purpose and trusting a parachute.
And to think, this guy has made 18,000 jumps!

I watched it and concluded it was fake. If you are using a wingsuit to land on water your groundspeed is about 120mph. From the video he definitely was not doing that speed. He also did not flare which is critical for stopping your descent velocity.
And then you look at the creative splicing of the video.
Fake, fake, fake!
Nope it was real nice try
Did you see this in description of the video?
“Sadly, whether or not Raphael Dumont was the first to land a wingsuit flight on to water without a parachute has remained unconfirmed due to inconclusive evidence...”
“Is he a democrat? Could start a trend...”
Maybe... but it is the ultimate expression of the pro-choice philosophy.
