ernokaikkonen 0 #3 December 13, 2007 Looks like Jeb is a bit late. From the slashdot thread: Quote A guy jumped off a cliff with one of these flying squirrel suits. He had a parachute just in case, but he did not use it. Picture a huge V where the tops of the V are the 2 mountain peaks and the center is a valley. He jumped off one mountain, flew over the valley, and then landed on another mountain that was covered in snow. Anyway it is one of the coolest things I have seen to this day, and this was almost 10 years ago in a Warren Miller ski video. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waldschrat 0 #4 December 14, 2007 Quote The landing, as one might expect, poses the biggest challenge, I would say it's the only challenge actually. Gliding around in any winged suit is fun and safe as long as you still open the chute at the end. cool we are safe! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This video that was published about 4 years ago where he jumps out of a helicopter and definitely uses the parachute he brought along just in case? I'd say he was referring to something else. Probably something he saw after smoking too much illegal substances. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
