Wednesday December 19, 2007 Random ramblings
Wednesday December 19, 2007 Disturbingly mad: Wing-suit mountain-road flyby. They seem to have really good aerodynamic control though - quite controlled, precise turns at least.
Apparently some in the skydiving community are hoping to eventually be able to land using just wing-suits (e.g. by landing on a slope, like a ski-jumper). To get an idea of the glide-ratio (and just how apparently insane these people are), have a look at this extremely low chute opening (again, note the precise turn-in to the landing zone).
There's a lot more of that stuff on Youtube. Completely nuts.
