I didn't have that much control jumping off the garage roof.

Why does the link...
YouTube - Wingsuit proximity flying in Switzerland and Norway ...have a period between the "u" and the "b" in "tube?" Not the real YouTube? Virus installer? Just curious.

These guys must need a dump truck to haul their balls around in!
Yes, I would LOVE to experience that! I do wonder though, how they judge their rate of descent when they come gliding in over a tree-covered rock outcropping. Some scenes show them approaching the top edge of a cliff that is covered with trees, and it looks like they are so precise in their judgment of depth that they could reach out and touch the tree-tops! Isn't gravity something like 9.8 meters per second? Clearly that suit reduces that substantially...by what, maybe 75%? But that has to vary greatly based upon other conditions present...wind, the design of the suit, etc... And I wonder what the forward acceleration is? The beginning of that clip when he flew by that bridge looked like he was doing 100 m.p.h. +. They seem to be in complete control. I wonder how many people have been killed doing this? Very interesting, nonetheless! JA

There are other similar videos on YT showing where guys did get killed..one guy hit a bridge at 120mph and it tore his leg off....died instantly. I agree...takes major bolz....
