Insane wingsuit jump!

That isn't the measure.

If a life was paid, was it worth it?

That is the measure.

Only a fool would not see that.

Only a fool would make the equivalence based on "if". Only a fool has, from the off, insisted that this action has to be judged by "value".

If it succeeds, what is the value then?

You are comparing trivial risks with one which is not. I have done all kinds of things, some stupid that I'd never try again, and some which definitely were worth it.

The risk taken here is off the charts of all of those. Try thinking it through.

Off the charts for you and I but to him, it's not. You think he did this on his first time with the suit? I am sure he logged many hours of time in that suit and became an "expert" in it's capabilities and his own skill. Just like a tightrope walker or a trapeeze artist. To them it's just the next hurdle to break, a chance to better their skills.

The guy with the bears has no control over the animal and it can turn on you in an instant. The flying suit is controlled my the skill of the wearer. The tightrope walker develops his own skills and learns to deal with wind and other outside factors.

You may think it's moronic, but to those who base jump and "fly" and walk on a rope across niagara falls, to them it's a challenge. Didn't you ever take a big risk just to see if you could do it?

Don't judge lest you be judged.

More wingsuit goodness/lunacy.
