riddler 0 #2 April 9, 2012 Not knowing wingsuits that well, do these numbers sound plausible? 22MPH vertical AND 60 MPH horizontal? Seems like there's no way to achieve those numbers simultaneously in a wingsuit.Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you can't walk away from it under your own power, repack and hop on a plane to at least theoretically do it again, that ain't no landing. At best it's a crater that didn't quite stick.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why would you need to repack a wingsuit for the landing to count??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
