Fly like a brick - the wingsuit
« on: October 07, 2011, 01:08:17 PM »
Check this out ..... (Courtesy of Swede and his great website.)

Now that human flight is possible, some friends have asked me to provide some fwingsuit information because they think I know everything about jumping out of perfectly good airplanes, but this shit is something new to me and you don't even need an airplane to do it, but an extremely high cliff or mountaintop will suffice.

Every generation seems to have something new to add to the human experience and this one is unique and profound and somewhat unbelievable.

So right now I'm in the process of obtaining as much info as I can find on this subject with emphasis on the following:

Wingsuit flight trainers.
Wingsuit dealers and prices.
Wingsuit clubs.
Wingsuit mishaps.
Etc.

If any of you Getbiggers have actually flown around town in your up to date wingsuit,
please post the info here.

Thanks ,,,, Srunt

It's best to fly at night.  Less air traffic.

DAN, there was a young guy who built a similar looking Batman flying cape and attempted to hit the ground safely from a not too high altitude.

He managed to fail in his attempt, but that failed attempt could have possibly been the start of this wingsuit craze.

ADONIS .. Is this something like your Anti-Gravity Suit?

Those who make these wingsuits have names for their designs and one is named "IMPACT". I wonder if more than one was sold?
