Mr ex-gf's dad was the original tester of the rocket pack.

He flew in Thunderball, the Olympics, etc

I think I would try this before I decided to OD on pain pills.

It's cool till you explode against a bridge

Re: You too will fly someday - with the wingsuit!
 

bridge: 1
wingsuit: 0

I don't think being covered in blood and surrounded by your boy's scattered body parts counts as winning...

Re: You too will fly someday - with the wingsuit!
 

it's not really a big deal. They drop you out of a plane, just like skydiving... and it helps you track forward (skydivers do this without this suit.. it's how they get out of formations). Granted, you go forward a lot.. and it looks like a lot of fun. It would be pretty difficult to hit a bridge, though... since, y'know.. you start out about a mile up in the air.

Watch out for al-queda wingsuit suicide bombers.

Wingsuit Base Jumping

These guys base jump with them, and fly down the side of mountians. Watch how close they get, and when the guy buzzes the road. It is honestly one of the coolest videos I have ever watched.

This technology will be complete only when you can take off from sea level and can land safely without a parachute (like a bird).

Maybe I'm a little drunk, but it seems possible that someone would be able to wingsuit out of a plan and land without a parachute. "Simply" pull up at a very low altitude to quickly slow your decent and speed. I would never try this, but it is only a matter of time before somebody does.

You'd need a much larger wingsuit, those guys are hauling and their stall speed would be way too high for a safe landing.

I really doubt it's possible to slow both your rate of descent AND horizontal speed enough to do this.

Re: You too will fly someday - with the wingsuit!
 

fwiw after that video I'm not impressed until someone can fly into a bridge without exploding

Yes, this is completely correct. No way a wingsuit that small would allow you to pull up at that kind of speed. Perhaps a parachute sized extension could be added somehow ...

Ah my bad. I cant get videos to work when I am at work. I just figured I would toss up the link cause it seemed like people were talking about folks jumping out of planes.
