I have to wonder how do you train to do that int he first place. Your body movements are going to be critical to your flight path. I could see if you turn to hard one way or another your wrapped up like a hot dog dropping like a stone. Of course there is a part of me that wants to give it a go.

Manned Flight
Way tooooooo cool. Many hours in a vertical wind tunnel before you try that, and several drop routes before you start whipping through the crevaces like that.mack

You can live to be 100, as long as you give up everything that would make you want to live to be 100!

Why would you want to fly when there are roads like that?

As Tod's link illustrates, if you're after the risk rush, there's a bit more at stake flying....Fast, Cheap, Reliable... Pick any two

That'll do it every time...
Some people say it's living life to it's fullest.
Not hardly.
Every minute you have on the earth is gold. Why would someone consider sitting on a stump somewhere watching a sunset every night not living life to it's fullest. But risking your ass foolishly is somehow cool.
A waste of the Greatest gift.
What a shame.RIP Whiskers (Shop Boss) 25+yrs

Living life or wasting it, a matter of interpretation. I can assure you after my little "incident" a couple years ago as of Saturday, there are LOTS and LOTS of people who would say riding a two wheeled motorized vehicle fits squarely in the same insanity as this flying suit stuff. You should see the looks I get some times when I tell people I broke twenty bones in one split second and still ride.

DGXSER,
I think if you had been WOT trying to get as close to that guard rail as you could, it would be a foolish maneuver.
I think you got hit by lightning!
I don't consider riding a bike as anything but transportation. If you had but one inch of movement in your steering then it would approach the WOT anology.
"Batman" was obviously trying to acomplish that WOT move.RIP Whiskers (Shop Boss) 25+yrs
