OT: The sickest freefall stunt ever, flying between buildings in downtown Rio

Something to take your mind off the BTT

Granted, in a wingsuit, you have some ability to steer, HOWEVER, flying between those towers before pulling the ripcord was effing insane. Hate to be a spoiler, but I could not figure out what the big deal was until they wanted to go Iron Man flying through downtown Rio.
