I saw something about this on ESPN last year but they were profiling some crazy bastard who wants to jump from an air plane in one of these and land on the ground sans parachute. They also showed part of a video when a guy was using one of these and glided right into a fucking bridge, obviously dying on impact. And no, they did not show that part.
A few years back, a guy jumped out of a plane in a similar suit and glided back inside the plain a few minutes later. He had a parachute though I think it took him a few tries to get it right.

ReplyDelete"Of the 30 wing suit jumpers 6 have died."
At least ESPN was kind of enough to leave the sound bite of him slamming into the bridge.
ReplyDeleteThat video is out there somewhere...
