- bossm4n, on 12/20/2007, -2/+43I've never heard of wing suits referred to as squirrel suits. I was expecting guys with fuzzy tails jumping off of bridges.

- inactive, on 12/20/2007, -4/+17Wow, this just looks amazing. I would love to do something like this one day. Must be a rush like nothing I have ever experienced before

I want to die doing this; hopefully I can watch a 'replay' of my 'untimely end' afterwards. - inactive, on 12/20/2007, -3/+7Has anyone tried this before? What is the rush like? Do a lot of people die while doing this?
- chrisbarr, on 12/20/2007, -0/+4I was hoping for something like a Tanooki suit :(
- inactive, on 12/20/2007, -0/+4Well said, Woody.

I Dugg this awhile ago, but whatever tool made the title and description failed miserably which is likely why it never made front page...or the number one spot like this one. - blackbelt88, on 12/20/2007, -0/+4This is seriously one of the coolest things I have ever seen.
- scratt, on 12/20/2007, -0/+4Sorry about that, if you are referring to ours.. Let me know what happened and we'll look into it.
- inactive, on 12/20/2007, -0/+3this was on the frontpage a month ago

- minitrollster, on 12/20/2007, -0/+3Yes they saved 15% after they switched to Geico.

- Jason4000, on 12/21/2007, -0/+2Someday they will make the flaps bigger so you get better horizontal distance. Davinci rolled, smiled and then laughed.
- chrisbarr, on 12/20/2007, -0/+2Chipmonks can't fly, they only sing.
- BOFH2, on 12/20/2007, -0/+2couldn't agree wtih you more.
- Tyrion, on 10/22/2008, -0/+2Wingsuiting is fun as hell, BASE jumping is moreso, combining them is double the fun :)
The rush? Hard to describe unless you've been there. Amazing, incredible, etc - words just fail to fully capture the feeling of the freest form of human flight!
People die doing it, but not in the number you might think. 13 BASE jumpers have died while wingsuiting since 2002, and all up there have been 127 BASE jumping fatalities since the era of modern BASE jumping began back in 1980.
If you're serious about BASE jumping there is plenty of information available to point you in the right direction. Start reading here: http://www.basejumper.com/Articles/Getting_Into_BA ... - jbnumba1, on 12/20/2007, -0/+2now THAT looks fun.
- Ludwig, on 12/20/2007, -0/+2There is an art to flying, or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. Clearly, it is this second part, the missing, that provides the difficulties.
I'd say that guy has the knack. - 1337zork, on 12/20/2007, -0/+2I did. And now Im late for work. Damnit.
