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!!
    :shock:

    My god that was scary even watching!

    I really do not know how you train to do something like that.

  7. @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!

    BORED!!!! Well normally I just watch a DVD or eat something.

    Glad you like it. Thanks for stopping by! :)

  11. About peed my pants when I watched that the first time. Thanks Mark!

    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. :)
