Looks like they have a parachute for landing.

But man that looks intense. The part where that dude grazed the ground was intense.

I'd probably poop on myself if i tried that.

Looks fukken rad. Not sure how he was able to just go back up tho. Some sort of wind tunnel? Or just the power of the suit?

I would die because I would be so terrified that I would pass out and not be able to pull my chute.


Their balls must be the size of watermelons.

I would do it, just not on a fucking mountain.

It's like parachuting, just with a suit.

It will last longer.

But that shit is nuts... Id be down to do it out of a plain over a large body of water with a transponder so they wouldnt lose me. Other than that, too much risk involved. Im a pansy

Those guys are crazy, I didn't know there was that many of them and that the suit was mass-produced for people to buy, I've only seen this clip before.

that's the kind of thing i would think of and then say "no, fuck that"

Yea, like the first guy:

"Ok I'm gonna jump. Here goes nothing."

37 second later his friend says to the guy standing next to him:

"Well that didn't work. He was a good guy though. Back to the drawing board."

they're probably experienced skydivers, so they know how to parachute and they're not scared of the freefall. adding a wing suit is just one new thing.

I go every year with my dad get ready dude LOL. You will let out the scream but its ok nobody can hear you. You will try and get atleast a couple jumps that first year because you cream your panties:eek3d:

Edit: Although I havent jumped into summits or off cliffs. Seems like some fun shit , I find jumping out an airplane safer then riding a streetbike and way better rush.

I've always wondered if it would be possible to jump out with a snowboard like some people do and fall parallel to a really steep slope and slowly touch down without opening the parachute, and then just ride down the slope as it got more mellow. Kind of like ski jumping, they fall really far and fast without killing themselves.

Try it and let us know! I've wondered too, but I bet I'd blow my knees then tumble on down.
