i've seen people jump out of planes in these "squirrel suits" before...but never base jumping...it looks like the dude is like 10 feet MAX from the clif faces that he's whizzing past....these guys can generate huge amounts of speed too...i know that one guy got somewhere above 200mph wearing one of these...but he jumped from 40k feet+....imagine being in one of those cars on that hill when they flew over at the end of the video....i'd poop myself

CRAAAAZY!! I didn't notice, where was the parachute cause there was no bag on their back.

look closer at the beginning...they've got chutes...they're BASE chutes though....so they're smaller...

give this NatGeo article a read....pretty interesting

I nearly pooped myself just watching the video.

I always kind of wanted to sumersault while skydiving... Don't think I will take it back up to try the suit, though.

Wow, looks amazing! I'd love to try that some time.

haha I was just watching a program about base jumping, crazy people, must be great to have the "I can fly" sensation. Just hope the parachute will work...

Also I couldn't really imagine myself climbing a mountain for one 2 minute jump

Oh man thanks for digging this thread back up, I've been looking for the video for ages! I forgot it was posted here. I love that so much, I wanna try it! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
