I think this would be a blast! Is this what they call a "flight suit"?

That's a great music/viddy - very enjoyable! I've done a Superman thing a couple of times back when I used to ride dirt bikes. That's, Superman, as in over the handlebars. When/if you ever do reach a ripe old age, it's scary to reflect sometimes... rolled the dice so many times and came up a winner!

There are some amazing videos shot by those guys flying those suits. One has a few people stationed & filming at a ridge with a major drop off on down from them. They have balloons flying so the guy flying/falling can see them & head their way. He couldnt have been more than 20 feet off the ground when he came thru. IIRC, he was also followed by another camera & we got to see the whole flight from the air with the footage from the close pass to the ground cut in.
A guy from Norway who is a volunteer fireman said a year or so ago they they scrape about 1 a week off a mountain. I should ask him if there are fewer now.,

Dude flies between balloon on a short string & the ground. Max, 6 or 7 feet? Cameraman dives outta the way, wisely, IMO.

Gee,, I wonder how any of them could wind up dead?

So they're called "wingsuits"
Looks like a good way to die to me
