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!
