Love the music by Awolnation !

Although these pictures of human flight are awesome, making us realize that human being is made of a soul that has vocation to fly into the air, there is something disturbing watching these crazy guys playing suicide. This is not sport ; this is actually a death game :?

Awesome!

That is surely dangerous but there is probably planning and experience used to decrease risks. I mean like using maps to find paths where the suit's flight characteristics and the slope of the land are compatible for a terrain following flight. At some point close to the ground though I'll bet it is pure skill.

Hmm, probably been done but I can see a useful product here. Probably not a big enough market to make money. A program could use 3D terrain and vegetation data, flight characteristics of a suit, point to jump from, etc. to make maps and paths and other useful things for people who do this. There could be a gadget the flier (pilot, jumper?) has with him that uses the program results and GPS or something to warn the flier if he is "out of the window" to make a fly over before it is too late to avoid crashing. Maybe it could recommend an escape route at that point.

I was wondering how they stop.
I guess that's one way.
