His injuries were “only” left scapula fracture, left acromian fracture, left neck abrasion, left clavicle fracture, 3 left side rib fractures, left hemopneumothorax, grade 1, liver laceration, head trauma, multiple scalp lacerations.

Has anyone ever succeeded in moving a tree by hitting it with their body at a relatively high speed?
I know it usually doesn't work very well with a motor vehicle. |

I was a passenger in a car that hit a tree at ~50 MPH. The tree was fine. Subaru apparently sucks at airbags. Mine (passenger) never deployed. I have a nice scar from it. My lawyer also got me ~$5k so that was nice. |

I don't fault a person for trying a "Go fund me" at all. People can decide to donate or not on their own. That aside........
It's obviously risky. But dang if that doesn't look like a blast  . Flying down that avy chute looked awesome!
I'm too old to start a base-jumping / wingsuit hobby though IMO. Best wishes for a full and rapid recovery. Cheers! -JC ETA: I laughed. Quoted:

That is some tier 1 stupid shit there. Not unlike free solo rock climbing, although I would say the rock climbing is probably less dangerous as the climber has at least some control. Wingsuit "flying" is really more of a free fall with a piss poor attempt at controlling the descent. I have little sympathy to those injured or killed doing it.
