It’s not the fall that kills, it’s the sudden stop at the end.

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.

We need more laws of gravity and stop this senseless killing!

Did he have Darwin Insurance .... relatives, friends and acquaintances could be better off financially.

Those who put their lives in danger to get an adrenaline thrill have to expect this. Sometimes they live, sometimes they die.

Falling with Style, but don’t be mistaken, it’s still falling.
They are not flying.

He didn’t land alright. He landed all wrong.

Keep reading, his body was found at the top of the cliff, 2000 ft from the jump off point.

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.

Gravity: it’s not just a good idea, it’s the law.

32 feet per second per second. It’s not just a good idea. It’s the law.

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.

I think of wing suits and this....

Sadly, the results were always the same...
