I think those comments at the end translated as, "I thought you were going to hang the clothesline there?" "Sorry I forgot."

He says: "I could have, like, shaken Jokke's hand, I could have highfived him, fuckin hell!"
She says: "That was so much lower than he's ever been"
(everything else is just "wows" and "holy shit" etc)

Ya, high five their hands clean off the ends of their arms...

It looks so surreal it almost looks fake, amazing.

Freeze-frame it. First jumper clears by about 1m. The shadows match the background and the curvature of the ground. CSI the heck out of it: I think it's real and these guys are nutbars. I thought fake at first, and maybe it is. A good fake if so.

This is legit. Jokke Sommer is a well known wingsuit jumper http://jokkesommer.com/ This is from a Norwegian TV show, called Oppdrag Sognefjorden, about extreme sports, it might be region blocked, but you can watch it here: http://www.nrk.no/programmer/sider/oppdrag_sognefjorden/

I havent seen the show, but i recognize at least one of the guys sitting there, the one with the grey sweater is Lasse Kjus, an ex-alpine rider

In Sweden this type of activity, even if consensual, is classified as rape.

I ever there was a need for a time warp, this is it. I blinked and missed it the first time.

While this is an impressive show of guts, it's a more impressive show of stupidity.
