Watch the whole vid...there is a part where they fly (non-powered, gravity fed) through a valley and trees that just made me go wow!

That's cool, but "splat" is inevitable....

A guy I work with has done it. He goes skydiving a couple times a week during the summer. He's nuts. I would try regular skydiving but not this.

I've gotta agree with the title, that is one of the best I've seen in the few years I've known about these wingsuits. These always struck me as kind of the purest sort of experience of human flight (okay, technically gliding), a dream as old as dreams themselves, made real. Those guys make it looks easy, but I wonder whether they have time to enjoy it or are completely occupied by missing the ground on their way down the mountain.

Truely no room for error - Splat.

I definitely wanna do this.

Some of those trees look somewhat harmless compared to the side of the mountain, but I'm 99.99% sure they're not haha, especially at that speed. Wow.

I have flown a wing suite once and it is a whole lot of fun. Those guys are truley nuts and have 1000's of wing suite jumps to get that good. A few of my buddies were at the Royal Gorge for a BASE comp and video a Birdman hit the railing and went splat. Two guys jumped out the plane and one was going to fly over the bridge and the other under it. The guy flying over it misjudged and hit the metal railing at 100 MPH and he went SPLAT. The actually got it on video, it a little rough but still gives you chills when you see it. The guy who died was actually a famous BASE jumper and died way to young.

SPLAT is likely, but what a way to go.
