Wingsuit Flying

Wingsuits now give you the closest experience to flying . Heck! You are flying!

So what is a wingsuit? And how does it work?

Wingsuit flying is the art of flying the human body through the air using a special jumpsuit, that shapes the human body into an airfoil which can create lift. The wingsuit creates the airfoil shape with fabric sewn between the legs and under the arms. It is also called a birdman suit or squirrel suit. (see video)

A wingsuit can be flown from any point that provides sufficient altitude to glide through the air, such as skydiving aircraft or BASE jumping exit points.

The wingsuit flier wears parachute equipment designed for skydiving or BASE jumping. The flier will deploy the parachute at a planned altitude and unzip the arm wings, if necessary, so they can reach up to the control toggles and fly to a normal parachute landing.

Enjoy the video!

Kind of makes you feel you’re not really living watching this. I have to do this one day, but first i think a parachute jump is first!
