Re: Wing Suit in flight
Thanks for posting. That's amazing and probably wouldn't take much to turn fatal when he entered the crack.

Re: Wing Suit in flight
I jumped one of those..they are supposed to be getting better.
Still pretty dangerous if they use the same system from a few years. Flying the suit is not a big deal, is kind of easy to learn if you are alredy skydiving. You just got to stay in a tracking position and change the angle of your arms. The spooky part is deploying your shoot. The wings block the wind that the pilot chute needs to deploy the bag, so in essence you need to release the bottom portion of the wings to deploy your chute. The flopping fabric from the wings can get on the way and can give you a malfunction.  At least that is they weay the used to work then. Spearing and freedivng is my highrisk activity now..
