A French pilot is facing manslaughter charges after his plane decapitated a man flying a wingsuit in France. The horrific incident occurred in July 2018 when Alain C. was flying his single-engine Pilatus airplane for a pair of wingsuit divers over Bouloc-en-Quercy near Toulouse, where he worked for a local parachuting school.

Daredevil Peter Salzmann and BMW create first wingsuit powered by an electric motor VIDEO AT LINK.................. Friday Special

Dramatic video posted by Red Bull shows the 36-year-old accomplishing the death-defying feat late last month at Villarrica, a volcano in Chile that the indigenous Mapuche have dubbed “the Devil’s House.” The thrill-seeker jumped out of the chopper at an altitude of almost 2.2 miles and reached speeds of about 180 mph as he flew into and out of the 656-foot-wide crater of the dangerous volcano. It took Álvarez more than a year to prepare for the stunt, which required 500 practice jumps to perfect the technique of flaring to achieve the proper vertical and horizontal speeds to make it...

Its unbelievable what these guys will try

Casting a kaleidoscope of colour against a cloud-filled sky, these jumpers boldly plummet towards a skydiving record. The 68 daredevils came together in a near-perfect diamond to make up America's largest ever wingsuit formation. Wingsuits are specially adapted bodywear that give added control during skydives. With flaps of material running across the gaps between their arms and legs the suits increase drag and allow the wearer to glide like a flying squirrel. The record-breakers - who came from 16 different countries - jumped from four planes at 13,000 feet over Lake Elsinore, California. President of the group behind the American...

Seriously, how awesome does that look? Imagine Special Forces soldiers zooming through the skies at 60 mph, covering distances of 30 miles or more without being picked up by radar. It could actually happen. A group of German companies with expertise in parachute systems have joined forces to create the Gryphon Next Generation Parachute System. Designed for high altitude jumps, the Gryphon has a 6-foot wingspan and a glide ratio of 5:1, meaning that a solider can glide up to 30 miles in the air—60 if they go ahead with plans to add a small engine like the one...

Can it really be the must-see video of 2009 if it’s three months old? Two different tipsters, crowning their e-mails with the subject header “Dude!”, say yes. If not for his deafening silence on Gaza, I’d call it a metaphor for The One’s first months in office. Evidently he prefers not to fly this close to the rocks. Starts slow-ish, but hang in there until 1:30.
