This is amazing--Shattered Throne in 5:40! (Destiny)
There is a glitch (feature? Copy DE right now Bungie, please!) where if you jump with Boost Glide and melee with a sword (it used to just be the Hive Sword, I think, but some other swords can replicate it), it launches you like you see in the video. I don't really know the specifics, but I saw that info in a comment in the reddit thread.
I also saw mention of being able to use the Warlock grenade that you can charge up to increase your glide by quite a bit somehow, but the player here wasn't doing that.
The basic mechanic, as I understand it, is that the Warlock glide inherits your current momentum. That’s why it usually feels so slow; because the movement speed in Destiny is so slow, and the warlock’s jumps add no or very little momentum the way Titan and Hunter jumps do (Hunter jumps give a burst of speed *upward*, which doesn’t help much with traversal speed).
So the trick involves using the Exotic Braytec sword’s lunge move to generate a split-second burst of speed, and then immediately use the Warlock glide to maintain and carry that speed over great distances.
You can see a Hunter use this same trick to launch himself through the air while activating his Golden Gun in this video (at roughly the 20 second mark):
