When Your Parachute Doesn't Open, All That's Left Is A 876-Foot Belly Flop
This is not a live-action Wile E. Coyote reenactment. It is video from Saturday's Bridge Day in Fayetteville, West Virginia, where BASE jumpers try their luck from the New River Gorge Bridge. Despite Christopher Brewer's parachute not deploying in time, his wingsuit slowed him just enough (he hit the water between 60 and 80 mph) to make the splash survivable: he's in the hospital with a fractured pelvis and injuries to his lungs and spine.
