Wingsuits in Mental Floss Blog

Recommended Posts

While seaching some of the blog, I ran across this. http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/14564
The part that says, "their descent to between 60-90 mph, and quieting the wind rush around them to a degree that they can hold casual conversations with one another while traveling in formation." is funny as shit. :S:D Wonder who gave them that info? :S:D
Also make sure to click on the video and check out the example. Be sure to fast forward over it at 9:36..... :D
The general public must say, WFT? :D:D:D

What a great video - what jackass sat in bubble gum at 9:36 during the video

FYI - I had nothing to do with linking that video to that blog - though it is too bad they killed the audio

here is a link with audio of the same video

"Yuri I flew for 19.46 seconds in 1994 at a barely-measurable altitude of 2 centimeters"

WTF??? How do they know my best kept secret?


And while the author is correct that

"wingsuiters often travel 2.5 feet forward for every 1 foot down (that’s called the “lift-to-drag ratio”, or L/D)",

he forgot to mention that

"f10ckers, on the other hand, often travel 2.5 feet down for every 1 foot forward (that’s called the “drag-to-lift ratio”, or D/L)"
