The Limits of Human Flight

Jon DeVore's first attempt at flight involved a tarp and climbing to the top of his parents' garage in Alaska. It didn't go smoothly. The adventurer has since become one of the top skydivers and wingsuit pilots in the world, getting calls to perform stunts in Hollywood blockbusters and competing in new races like the recent Red Bull Aces wingsuit competition. Like most who ply his trade, DeVore seems cut from a different cloth; a man who feels more at home screaming alongside mountaintops than walking on the ground amongst us. But things have changed since he's become a father, and a few close calls with death. We focus on the limits of human flight, and the desire to push boundaries further and further. Hosted on Acast.
