So you're Tuff.

Good thing he's wearing his helmet....

I wonder if you can control sinkrate at all with the suit... He was awfully close to becoming a stain on the landscape.
 
He's talking about landing without a parachute. No kidding. Must take a lot of lift to keep those giant brass balls aloft...
 
I can't stop watching this thing. Possibly the coolest thing ever. I particularly like that (if you watch interviews/read up on the guy) he's this kind of awkward, nasally dude who you just know got stuffed in to at least one locker in his formative youth, then decided "screw it, we're all gonna die anyway" and became the baddest of baddasses. That's what I call an American Success Story. Hope he doesn't hit nothin.
 
You've got to do it dressed like the Flying Elvises, Utah Chapter, with a double-wing stack, styled like a Sopwith Camel, and JetMan auxilaries providing bleed air to support the folding wing control.

Just sayin'...

You know, if one were going to do such a thing. And somehow , were accidentally gonna do it several times, at various locations. With no prior intent.

Keep-It-Super-Sweet. If you put a HUD on it, Embry-Riddle will put it in the "training syllabus". That's pretty much the death-knell of anything Cool.

Wingsuits are awesome, and this guy certainly has figured out the camera angle, but, from 2007:

Shane McConkey, a freeskiing God, got killed doing this a few years. Too bad, the guy was a machine, but as you say, "Screw it, we're all gonna die anyway." Shane went out going balls to the wall.
