What is wingsuiter hits bridge?

Wingsuiters hitting bridges is a rare but dangerous occurrence in the sport of wingsuit flying. It happens when a wingsuiter approaches a bridge and attempts to fly through a narrow gap or under a bridge deck and misjudges the speed or the angle of approach, resulting in a collision with the structure.

The impact can be devastating and fatal, as the wingsuiter may lose control and crash into the water or the ground at high speed. Bridges are particularly dangerous because they are often made of concrete or steel and have hard surfaces that can cause severe injuries.

Wingsuiters who attempt bridge flights must have extensive training and experience and must carefully assess the risks and the conditions of the flight. They also need to study the bridge's design and layout, the wind conditions, the altitude, and the speed necessary to make the flyover safely.

In recent years, there have been several high-profile wingsuiting accidents involving bridges, including the death of wingsuit pilot Uli Emanuele, who crashed into a mountainside after attempting a flyover of a bridge in the Swiss Alps. As a result, many wingsuiters have called for more safety regulations and guidelines for the sport to prevent further accidents.
