virgin-burner 1 #3 December 12, 2008 become an army-fighter pilot, then onto commercial airliners, find sponsors worth millions, sacrifice and devote your life to it, learn french, and most of all, move to the best country in the world. oh yea, and being a kinda nutjob also helps.. i havent met him, but yves is one amazing guy. check out the other stuff he did, like "snowboard" off a balloon.. check FUSIONMAN “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

antonija 0 #4 December 12, 2008 You stick a wing on your back and hope it doesnt interfere with canopy opening... other than that just find a tall cliff (I don't suppose you'll get this on a plane) and jump. And hope for the best :p Or!! You could try wingsuit...I understand the need for conformity. Without a concise set of rules to follow we would probably all have to resort to common sense. -David Thorne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohanW 0 #5 December 12, 2008 Actually, it does fit in a plane. He even manages to get it into a Porter, but a nice big tailgate seems easier. A lot.Johan. I am. I think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antonija 0 #6 December 12, 2008 How on earth do you get out of prter with that thing on your back?? Unless you charter your private porter, expand the doors a bit, hit pilot in the head while climbing out... And what do you do when you get the damn thing out of the plane? Wind should just grab you and slam you into tail... or just underneath it if youre lucky :pI understand the need for conformity.

virgin-burner 1 #7 December 12, 2008 as far as i know, in fact all his jumps were made from porters. the wings fold up in the plane, he starts the engines, climbs out, gets into freefall, extends the wings and fires up the engines, and flies off. and yes, besides him and the pilot, he only had one or two more helpers in the plane. where's piisfish if you need him, he's been one of those helpers.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

The initial trajectory is very close to a tandem exit.scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
