Falling with Style, but don’t be mistaken, it’s still falling.

They are not flying.

no i’ve seen the videos, they are flying just like any glider. rather fast, they can ride updrafts and exercise control where they want to go.

however the “control” part is key. you must have it or the result isn’t pretty.

Semi controlled plummeting, I’d say.
