Human Flying Squirrels Caught On Video
This is so awesome. You’d never catch me doing it though.
I’ve seen something like this before, but never knew what these things were called until now: wingsuits. I think they make the flier look like a flying squirrel, but hey, if it keeps you afloat, then call it anything you like.
What did you think of that guy “buzzing” the road like that?

Oh yeah man… I watched a show just last week on Discovery with these suits. Only difference is they were jumping out of planes and not cruising next to jagged rock cliffs at 100+ MPH… that’s crazy!!

My god that was scary even watching!
I really do not know how you train to do something like that.

@Garry:
I know! Crazy skills, but it must be awesome have that feeling.
@Baron:
Indeed. Sitting at the keyboard is the life for you and me, good buddy.
@Mike:
What a coincidence! I just stumbled that page this morning. Great minds, yes?
@Forest:
Absolutely. I can only guess at the evolution of this sport. Did you catch what that guy said about being bored, and so they came up with this? Geesh!

I’m sorry for the lengthy delay in responding. I’ve been out of town. I imagine those guys must have done a few wet scenarios themselves the first few times they jumped off the cliff.
