The Scottish Flore Wingsuit died during a jump in the Swiss Alps.
A 24 -year -old British Liam Birki Champion was injured on Mount Hitchen on Saturday after departure from 7874 feet (2400 m).
Mr. Birn from Stunhaven, Aberdenshire, presented in the BBC documentary 2024 called A boy who can fly.
It was described as a very experienced Wingsuit Flyer – a type of parachuting that provides wearing a special web suit to allow the lift in the air – and completed more than 4,000 jumps for its 10 -year career.
Mr. Birn said documented: “I think I was about 13 years old when I told my father what I wanted to learn to fly like a bird.”
He explained: “Even at school, I would look out the window on the seagull, and always feeling that they have the freedom to just fly and fly away.
“I wonder why I love to fly so much? Maybe my brain is connected to other people, perhaps I am dealing with fear.
“But I know myself well enough to know that office work scares me much more than the fear of dying from a base jump or winging.”
My Birn said he was safe, he tried to play sports, he thought about how much his family was going through.
He told the creators of documentaries that the preparation was key for security.
“I have spent the last decade of workouts to increase skills and reduce any risk.
“For me, I am approximately to the ill -advised drug addict, as you can get. Preparation has always been at the heart of all my problems. The more I get ready, the more I have control.”
Mr. Birn took extreme sports from young years. At the age of 12, he rose to Mount Kilimanjaro, a peak in Tanzania, an African, which stood in height 5,895 meters (19 341 feet).
This adventure led to the dog through the Arctic, underwater swimming and several large summits.
At the age of 16, he took the first dive into the sky, and by 18 years he pulled the crisis, which he called “the second skin, allowing me to follow the air in a controlled way.”
Mr. Birk’s parents, Mike and Jillian, confirmed the BBC Scotland News that their son had died.
The family statement said: “We would like to remember the Liam not only for how it left this world, but also how he lived in it.
“Liam was fearless, not necessarily because he was not afraid, but because he refused to let fear. He was chasing his life in this way, which most of us just dreams, and he took off.
“The parachute violation and the base jumps were not just a sharp feeling for the Liam – it was freedom. It was there that he felt most lively.”
The statement added: “Liam was not just an adventurer. He was a son, brother, grandchildren, cousins and friends. He was a source of laughter and strength.
“He inspired us all and improved his life with his brave spirit and a good heart. We will miss the wild energy of Liam and contagious laughter.
“Although he has now flew outside our reach, he will always be with us.”
In the BBC documentary, Dad was presented by Dad Mr. Bern, Mike, Builder and former commander in the British army.
In the emotional scene, he watches his son takes off in training and says, “I buried it 10 times already in my head.”
But Mr. Birn SNR continues to say that he knew that Joy Winging Sumbing gave Liam.
“He was a strange child who grew up – all I suggested to be. I was massively inspired by them. I would like me to be more like him.”
Foreign Commonwealth and Development (FCDO) confirmed that it supports the British family who died in Switzerland.
