In this episode of Wild Women the world’s fastest flying woman, Ellen Brennan, talks about the risks and rewards of the dangerous pursuit of wingsuit flying. Her interview gives us an unprecedented look into an often misunderstood sport and puts a very human face on what appears to be a superhuman feat.
Ellen started BASE jumping in 2006 and after many hours of practice and countless jumps she graduated to wingsuit flying in 2008. Since then she has dedicated much of her life to the sport, moving to Europe and making the Alps her playground.
"It's so rewarding to do something you're not meant to do," Ellen says of wingsuit flying. "You're doing what the birds do... and you're seeing everything from a different perspective."

    I think the first jump from an airplane has to be the hardest, then it becomes easier as they push for the base jumps and eventually the suits. It takes many jumps and a lot of parachutes folding to get where she is. At some point, I expect it becomes an addiction. That speed and what seems to be an incredible experience puts everyone of these jumpers, in a category, all of their own. We can only guess how they feel, but I doubt we can come close. They are a tight group who graciously take the risks, while living to the fullest. Respect is due, as it is all we can offer them.

    It takes many sky diving jumps, then base jumps before you venture into the suit. It is not anything you do lightly. It is a life long commitment. It is expensive as most people do not have sponsors until they get really good. Ellen's dad used to take her jumping. She had the connections as she started skydiving at 18. Amateurs get killed quickly and also endanger others around them. It is not to be taken lightly.

    Cold air forms below you with a shadow. Hot air rises, cold air falls. Getting so close to the ground that your shadow affects your fall rate is just insane.

    She's not talking about her shadow. She's talking about shadows in the terrain. Shadows created by an outcropping of rock when the sun is in a certain position, for example. Your shadow doesn't create air currents as it doesn't have time to affect the ground temperature.

  • @Chris-wq3pe
    @Chris-wq3pe6 жыл бұрын

    yes, a lot of pros and only one con - but that con is the big one - certain death when you have a bad day or the conditions go against you. So many great and skilled wingsuiters have died. Is it really worth the adrenaline rush to end your life ? you only get one life. There is no heaven or hell. there is nothing when you die. you don't even know you are dead. you cease to exist. your family is grieving and all your loved ones will ask - why ? why did she risk everything for thrills ? a greater and more rewarding journey than jumping off a cliff is the journey within yourself. you don't need adrenaline for that.
