@Lawndart, thanks for that one. Awesome plane, I'm sure they were having loads of fun...

@Beaker, funny thing is, that I thought about this video before I even scrolled to the bottom of the page to see your post LOL. This looks like a newer version of the suite. I'm sure this would be a pisser to fly. :lol:

One of the guys in the wing suit was killed during their flight along the mountains; he struck a bridge beam. :shock:

From Jokke's group? Are you sure it was that particular flight?

I don't think it was from the same group but it was Dwain Weston and Jeb Corliss. Dwain was the guy who impacted the bridge.

This (excerpt) was shown on TV not too long ago. I can't remember the name of the show, I caught it on an overnight in a hotel room somewhere.



P.S. I split the topic into its own thread (from here), since the conversation about wingsuits took off (no pun intended). ;)

That was my fault, sorry Boss. :wink:
