You would be better off asking Omar and the rest of the Z-hills gang, they were sitting right there next to me when it happened. I believe he is z-hills local, I want to say his name was either Rob or Bob. I think he actually appears in a still picture on one of Omars videos from that boogie. Hey CamPOS... haha Just Wanted to let you know it's Scotty, Not rob or bob... figured you wouldnt have a hard time remembering that one big daddy. First off. Ive only seen a wing pop off a prodigy when the wearer may have been imbetween suit sizes, and, i believe the case in point the jumperer was a little big around the waist, and it only came off in the airplane. I believe that its entirely possible, since all 4 of our suits were out on virtually every wingsuit load we had at the dropzone.com boogie that snaps, when you sweat, in the 100 deg heat in the middle of the hottest summer in florida history, may become difficult to snap when your finger slips off the snap, and the suits are soaked in sweat, and really have no time to dry between loads. the student in question had disconnected the wings and re connected them, it takes a lot of direct pressure, and he didnt do it correctly; so when he stood up, it poped off and we fixed it. It really was not a concern at the time. because it was user error. the suits were quite slippery and sweaty. I believe it was the next load you put a one of my students flying a prodigy on their 2nd or 3rd WS jumps as base, and again on other jupms to follow. we got some great footage on those jumps. as far as performence, I have actually had a few of my students on their first 2-4 jumps whom have smoked other wingsuit pilots in other suits when flocking together. Prodigies actually Produce lift, not induce drag, hence their handling characteristcs. its a wonderful suit and hard to believe that its 2 pieces, sells for about the same as alot of used equipment, and depending on the users, will on par outperform most anything else out there, and its a beginner suit. im only describing my experiences over the last few months in and around zhills and lake whales. you comin to flock and dock 1.5 Scott? Hope to do some flyin with ya there~ PERRY- Ive gotten about 20% of the zhills staff already jumpin prodigies and ready for their v1's, and many others to come.

Omar- You know my feelings on the matter. weve got a lot of flyin to do in the near future. once again Great job on the video, and we've got much better in store for the future... Great job again Omar.. we gotta do a wingsuit shuttle jump next time..

Nice Job Perry. I think you did a great job of handling a time critical decision and executing it perfectly in a situation where the base's heading was not as it was planned to be. WE all have been on large and small flocks where the base should have been heading one way, and someone outside the base would have to eventually turn the formation because others situational awareness is not where it needed to be. We all should take a navigation lesson from this event. Even some very experienced wingsuit pilots still haven't quite grasped the importance of navigating airspace as a pilot would navigate his aircraft, not just as a freeflyer in a good enough spot that they wouldn't run into another group. Plan the dive, then dive the plan. Also, another issue that all must be aware of, since wingsuits mainly go last, if were on the end of jump run, and we are using cardinal directions for our flight path, and the pilot cuts jump run, and changes the jump run back the other direction or any way he feels, all flyers need to be aware that they may have to execute a turn immediately out the door in order to dive the plan correctly and safely. If we want to take this to the next level, all involved must be able to achieve this level of awareness. just some outside points of view from your friendly flocker.
