October 8, 20241 yr Author With enough training I think the risk could be minimised. I'd still want big money, though.

Truth is, if you start training in Wingsuit flights, you'll probably end up wanting to do that jump as badly as I do 😉 I stopped skydiving almost 10 years ago, and at that time I had only started using beginners wingsuits, but man what a sensation it was...

You are a scary man. 😀 Surprising how reasonable the glide ratio is. Those suits generate more lift than we would think.
October 9, 20241 yr The largest ones even allow you to go up ! You can see that for example in that other crazy video (look when they go above the dam):

Did I hear him utter an "F Bomb" near the end? I'd love to know how he managed to reach the peak on such a shart knife-edge! 🤔 Fr.

From the videos it looks like they don't have reserve parachutes? I recall one video where a guy had no parachute at all and landed in cardboard boxes. 😄
