The Story
“I never thought I’d wingsuit again.”
That is the first line Jamie wrote under this film. Then came six weeks at sea, sailing from Denmark to Norway. A helicopter took the team to the exit. The film is the jump, the pass through the waterfall, and what it takes to walk away from a near miss.
This is where I stopped being reckless. No more aerials, no more flips, no more treating it like a stunt. I started asking why I actually wanted to wingsuit. Another jumper on the trip broke his leg on landing after five years out of currency — the video doesn't hide that, and neither should this page.
How does this trip connect to Jamie's mental health?
Jamie describes this trip as the point where his relationship with wingsuit BASE jumping changed — he stopped chasing stunts and started asking why he wanted to do it at all, which he connects to managing PTSD daily rather than chasing risk for its own sake.
Why we make these films
Battling Monsters is the mental health movement Jamie Leibert founded. PTSD is the monster. A wingsuit is how he manages it. Not a recovery story. A daily fight, filmed. Every film on this site is free because the people who need it most are the ones who cannot pay for it.
