That is way cool. I might have done it when I was about 20 years old.

Holy crap, that's awesome. I also would like to know how you learn to do that? I'd love to do it, after my kids get done with college, of course ;-). Actually, it might be a cool thing to start doing when you're 75. Just do it 'til yer done. kj.

That is insane! And totally awesome!
A jumpsuit like those might be fun to have on a windy day.

[quote Don C]How do you learn to do that? Seems like there's not a lot of room for a learning curve!
Not to mention how do you perfect the suit? Would think that you don't get very many tries to get it right!
By skydiving from airplanes of course. When I did my skydiving experience in 1982 some of the skydivers were wearing wing suits, though not as radical as current designs. The current form of wing suits came out in the 1990s and are very common in skydiving now.

I made 11 jumps back in the 70's. I'd love to try this (after competent instruction
)!!!
