I dont even know what to say to this, other than posing the question how you fit such huge balls in such a tiny wingsuit

Seen the video about two years ago. It takes balls of steel to do something like that. I'd love to go skydiving, but not basejumping.

There was that one guy who evaporated when he hit a bridge.

I've seen hospital photos of quite a few of them, nothing to see here, move along move along type of shots.  UGH.

But it still seems pretty interesting.   :uhoh

Would I fit in one of those suits with adult Depends on? Sure looks fun!

I saw that vid.  He hit a support wire and severed a limb.   :frown:
