mountainman 0 #27 January 9, 2002 QuoteYa know, I'm SURE that one day soon that will be happening...I think you're right. Yuri said they are working on that. I'm sure they're not trying yet, but they were talking about gaining speed and then "pulling up" to actually gain a little altitude. I can't wait to see that.JumpinDuo.com...come and sign the guestbook. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheMarshMan1 0 #31 January 9, 2002 Powder that is.....hard packed snow is just as hard as dirt...trust me, I know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #32 January 9, 2002 And maybe going a little down hill to help slide along...I guess it would probably help if he/she wore some kevlar armor under the suit. Atleast chest and groin...can you imagine hitting a rock/stick/rodent or something landing in a wing suit?

Zennie 0 #33 January 9, 2002 QuoteIf I were a betting man, and if they were smart...they might consider snow Oooo. Even better. Find a nice, long straight, steep slope and ease it in. Can you imagine the looks on Biff & Buffy's faces as some guy goes screaming past and belly slides about 300 yards downhill? We would definitely need video.

TheMarshMan1 0 #34 January 9, 2002 Yeah, but AggieDave has a point. A rock would hurt...even with "armor", lol. And smooth, long, straight slopes are somewhat rare... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheMarshMan1 0 #36 January 9, 2002 "can you imagine hitting a rock/stick/rodent..."hahahhaha, i just saw the rodent part. That was the funniest mental pic I've had in a while. Guy in birdman suit haulin ass down a snowy slope. Completely unsuspecting squirrel gets up from hibernation to stretch and gets its head ripped off by birdman's foot as it leaves its hole. LOL....sheesh, I think i'm getting tired... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #37 January 9, 2002 Can you imagine some stuck up rich skier yuppies coming down the slops at a leasurly pace scared shitless because a jumper came screaming down out of no where and belly slid a few hundred yards yelling and screaming, getting up, going nutz and screaming stuff about Beer and stuff. And having his buddies who followed him out pulling long/hard swoops right up after him...Wow, that would be funny as hell.Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.-General George Patton- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The day someone lands a wing or birdman and walks away will be a sad day. Every body will want to try it and 99.99% of those who do will probably end up killing themselves. I believe there is a thresh hold in skydiving that shouldn't be crossed. Theres too many inexperienced people trying to jump on the band wagon. Why dont we get drunk and screw. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites TheMarshMan1 0 #47 January 9, 2002 Thats a good point, but personally- I dont believe many people will try that. Its way too freakin risky, i dont care HOW slow they think they can get. 60mph? 50? Even 40? Still dead, or so badly dismembered they'll never be able to even think of jumping out of a plane again. Once everyone sees how much of a failure that will be, I dont think too many more will try it. Like you said, theres a threshold that shouldnt be crossed, and I think most experienced skydivers can recognize it.
