More people die driving every day than doing that in a year. That's a risk I would definitly be willing to take, to be able to fly.

As close as we are going to get to actual unassisted flight methinks. Absolutely amazing. Imagine the gonads and nerves involved. Very cool vid, thanks for posting. How long till we see you in one of those Norona?

Billions of people drive, it's only a few thousand who wingsuit, so your statement isn't really valid.

They didn't. That track is meh, the latest album is great.

Nope, students in Toronto built a pedal powered ornithopter just a few weeks ago, albeit not quite as thrilling.

Do they have any ability to pull up and therefore moderate height, or is it a constant decreasing glide angle? If the later ….. holy fuck!

Oops i see that you can, a whole two meters … that's ok then….

No second chances….but what a great way to go! If your feeling a little Emo.

I am sure like anything its progressive, first he sky dived then based jumped etc. But if he comes up short on the next gap jump, game over.:alien:

Norona loves life too much to contour fly in a wing suite. But his chute has ADVIL written on it :)

I'd probably wear goggles. They do a better job then glasses.

Sorry Chups… that's looking significantly more "assisted" than the suit.

Why oh why did you have to post that? Just yesterday I was thinking about this stuff and couldn't get it out of my head all day. Methinks skydiving will be on the cards this season, a friend of mine knows a bunch of jump instructors who are also into baseing so the progression just seems logical. Flying one of those wingsuits has been in my head since the day I saw them. Must be something to do with my parents having over 1100 jumps combined. Damn them.
