“When I have recovered I will jump again,” Lange told the AP. “It all comes down to better planning. It’s a fantastic feeling to fly along a mountainside.”

    Who said it was 180km/h? From the look of the video the canopy is out (he looks up and checks it, that's the quick head movement). Freefall speed and speed in wingsuit is high, 200km/h or higher, but being under canopy is a completely different story. Still, I wouldn't want to hit the wall.
