What a buzz that must be!
The flying squirral type suit was invented by a French guy years ago. He dropped from a ballon and then glided from the UK, across the channel,
landing in France.
Still, an awesome video though.
... great tune too!
I'm not convinced this is entirely unedited footage?

Christ! I better not let my girlfriend see that... she'll be straight onto the net to order a suit!!!
I remember a guy who had one of those suits but had strapped a couple of small rocket engines to himself to extend the flight time!!!
I have to admit to being a little disappointed about him using a parachute! Coulda just rolled with it!
Or, go a little further and get to the sea... nice soft landing!

Holy crap!
little holes cause the wing to inflate to a proper aerofoil shape, and apparently you can get 10m along for every 1m you drop.
especially as he seems to jumping a BASE rig, ie no reserve!
nutter

Love watching wing suit video's!
Is love a go at that... Utter Metal case
he's a pretty famous base jumper - watched a programme about him. HE lives and breathes it - balls of an elephant!
