Grinding the Crack

And I thought base jumping was the most extreme aerial activity!
Looks awesome, even if it is also horrendously dangerous.

What strikes me is if they misjudged the rate at which they are descending, they would smack into the ground. Or a sudden gust of wind could push them off course into a tree.

Don't get me wrong, it's an amazing feat, but to the point of being suicidal.

Couldn't agree more with that, the margins for error tiny compared to just doing a skydive!

Awesome videos! Man I'd love to do something like that - haven't ever even done a bungee jump let alone a tandem sky dive or anything - one day!

My favourite wing-suit flier finally got sponsered by Red Bull not to long ago which should hopefully fund a lot more trips and increase the video output

Just before they jump off but then go inverted

It's not quite as dangerous as that. If the person gets too close to the ground, the wingsuit will form a kind of cushion of air between him and the ground which will push him away from it.

But obviously that's not going to stop you going splat if you get it completely wrong, but it gives them a certain margin for error.
