Wingsuit pilot live-streams his own death on Facebook A man in a wingsuit live-streamed his own death when he jumped from a mountain in the Swiss Alps. Armin Schmieder, from Italy, can be seen preparing to jump in the wingsuit from a mountain top in Kandersteg in Switzerland. The 28-year-old tells his viewers ‘Today you fly with me’ as he zips up and dons his helmet. He then waves goodbye to the camera and pockets his phone before making the big leap. Soon after, a shout can be heard, followed by the sound of an impact and cow bells.

Bern cantonal police later confirmed the body of a 28-year-old Italian citizen was found near Kandersteg, according to local newspaper, The Zurich Daily Blick. A friend of Armin later told Blick he was an ‘experienced skydiver’, but had only been using wingsuits for a year.
