@@tbrowniscool dont hold me to it , but im pretty sure i heard that before. And the more experienced wingsuit pilots can glide at a 3:1 ratio, even more astounding!!
Being new to the world of all this, what you're all doing is not just jumping off cliffs with the outcome of "falling" downwards, but it's more like a controlled maneuvering as you "descend" and advance forwards over trees and around and through ravines... it's actual flying! Awesome! All the very best.
flying involves using a system that can propel you upward with a power source. Wingsuit gliding has no external source of power that can take you higher, and you never travel higher than the source you jumped from.
I was actually interested in windsuiting (is that even a word?). Two reasons made it a sold no. 1. It's the most dangerous sport in the world. Funny enough, not because of the equipment. To get the adrenaline rush, you have to fly near stuff to get the feeling of how fast you're going (near tress, cliff's edges, etc.). That's where you die. 2. At least in America, no one will sell you one unless you've jumped out of a plane hundreds of times. Basically, the wingsuit sport is for people who are bored from free falling from a plane. I simply can't afford the training it would require to do it.
Thanks for explaining why they always seem to be perilously close to things, surely soaring further away from death is also thrilling. I admire these people but think they should spend a month in a monastery or take ahuahuasca or something. It feels like a very fun version of Russian roulette.
If I’m not mistaken , they have tunnels . Kinda like sky divers have that circle thing where they can “free dive “ but it’s just a big ass fan in the ground doing like 200 mph winds lol
Mortifying 😂. It’s like skydiving with serious attitude, but beautiful. I’ve always gone with: “Why jump out of a perfectly good aircraft” (I’m just shy of 15,000 hours hanging out of jet helicopters.) stay safe !!
WELL.... ya always hope that the wing works in that first 50ft. or so 'cause if it does not......... KABLAMO into the rocks and weeds,.. not good........ other than that I'd LOVE to take the ride but THANK YOU for the ride along. 👍👍👍
@@dt7843No, it is THE most deadly sport/activity there is. Look it up the amount of deaths from wingsuits/BASE jumping is insane compared to any other activity.
2:04 I see 1st diver's pala shoot at near right black dot (dark green tree) left white dot is it ! 2:11 1st diver's pala shoot at near right black dot (dark green tree) above the brown filed !
