I just saw this a few days ago. This video is amazing. I think a new sport was born. At first I wondered if the video was real, but according to Wikipedia (which could be false), wingsuits are real. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wingsuit_flying. These remind me of flying squirls—a controlled downward glide in various directions.

Wow! Now this is absolutely crazy but awesome at the same time. I’d love to do that!

That is enough to strike sheer terror into the hearts of most individuals! I suppose it is safer than base jumping where you got to get the parachute open in time. It reminds me of the system flying squirrels utilise.

The Red Helmet has a section in it at 4:15 on the wing suits. All the other parts are good too. The guys in wing suits are only a few feet above the trees!

Where is the nearest cliff from Frisco, TX? Oh, and where can I get a flying suit?

Iam sure i cannot never ever do this stuff in my life, feared by just watching the video, at the end do they slowly fall or crash?

I could never do that … but OMG, it looks so cool! What a wonderful feeling that must be.

I think that most of us can appreciate what they are doing, and can see that we might be in the same position as them if we had headed down that direction through the years. Risk-taking of this kind is something that builds up through experiences, so they really are bored when they don’t go close to the edges of the mountains while dropping, because their minds need increased risk to maintain the amount that satisfies them. If we were in that situation, we would be wanting to one-up the other fliers, using more action-packed moves than them.
