Wing suits. These are the ones you can build real speed with and actually “fly” around with. More than one person has died doing this. I recall the one where two guys were flying and one hit a bridge. They were aiming to go under it and one made it but the other didn’t.

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

They are not flying.

Saw the video...he came in about 18 inches too low, and smacked the pedestrian guardrail on the far side of the bridge, after clearing the near side. Sound of impact was sickening.

I think of wing suits and this....

...comes to mind.

Sadly, the results were always the same...
