A brave base jumper launches himself into a cloudy abyss from a 150-metre high radio tower in Switzerland.

The man, who goes by BASEWEEKLY on YouTube, records himself scaling the radio tower with a GoPro attached to his helmet before climbing onto the roof of the building where he becomes surrounded by thick fog.

The base jumper then cries out "send it" before launching himself into the cloudy abyss where he then lands in a nearby cornfield.

He told Newsflare: "I was road tripping around Europe and found this awesome decommission AM radio antenna.

"I knew it would be foggy at the top but was confident I would have visibility for landing. It was pretty cold and my hands were freezing, I was wishing I had my gloves but could find them in the messy car before I started.

"I geared up in the room at the 150-metre mark and decided to run off the roof rather than climbing the extra 60 metres to the top.

"Falling through the fog, everything was white and I couldn’t see the ground so I counted in my head and pulled the parachute with plenty of time to set up the landing.

"There was a headwind when I came into land which nearly put me in the cornfield but I just made it."

This footage was filmed on August 27.

I was road tripping around Europe and found this awesome decommission AM radio antenna. It was foggy when I got there is the afternoon and I decided to sleep in the car and wait until morning. I got up at sunrise and started the climb, I new it would be foggy at the top but was confident I would have visibility for landing.
It was pretty cold and my hands were freezing, I was wishing I had my gloves but could find them in the messy car before i started.
The comb was a bit annoying because my gear kept getting stuck on the structure behind the ladder so I had to squeeze through in a few places. I geared up in the room at the 150 meter mark and decided to run of the roof rather than climbing the extra 60meters to the top. There was a fair bit of wind but not much on the ground so I was just planning to fall through it. Once I let go of the antenna I was fully committed as the roof was a bit slippery and wet.
Falling thought the fog everything was white and I couldn’t se the ground so I counted in my head and pulled the parachute with plenty of time to set up the landing.
There was a head wind when I came in to land which nearly put me in the corn field but I just made it.
Adventure completed and smiles engaged! I then drove 4 hours and jumped of a dam to finish off the day with style. Not a day I will forget any time soon
