This guy flies through the alps and the chute he deploys at the end is a nasa wing.3shot - 21-2-2015 at 09:12 AM
Bada$$. Thanks for finding this one!!ssayre - 21-2-2015 at 09:33 AM
The funny thing is it looks smaller than my 7 meter. I would have thought it would be bigger. Maybe it's deceiving. RedSky - 21-2-2015 at 10:04 AM
Try it ssayre. Colorado is only only 17hrs by car.soliver - 21-2-2015 at 01:04 PM
Hate to be the nay sayer, but it looks like there are foils to me... It's shaped NASA like, but I think it's some sort of foil. Sorry Bladerunner - 21-2-2015 at 01:26 PM
If you pause it at 2:04 you can clearly see the cells. It does have a real NASA shape to it though.
Speaking of things that may not be what they appear. Does that guy look about 14 years old or what?
It is amazing how wing suits have developed. I forget the exact stat' but think something like the 1st 7 out of 10 people to pioneer the sport died
doing so. B-Roc - 21-2-2015 at 02:19 PM
He deploys the chute with a lot of altitude compared to others who pop it at what seems to be 10' from the ground.
Wonder how much of their line they can actually pick in advance other than the start and end point. How do you scope those lines out?John Holgate - 21-2-2015 at 03:48 PM
There sure as hell isn't much of a margin for error there. I think it would be safer to climb Everest.GRB - 21-2-2015 at 04:23 PM
Just a regular fully square base jumping chute. Wide angle lens and stopping the video before the slider is all the way down and the end cells open
make it look like something else. Due to deployment complications wingsuitors(even from airplanes) use more conservative parachutes then skydivers.
This is the exact modelhttps://www.apexbase.com/canopies-parachutes/flik-base-canopy soliver - 21-2-2015 at 04:27 PM
Cool vid even if it isn't a NASA though,.... forgot to say that :D
no chute

Water landing. I had seen the one with the boxes on tv before but I hadn't seen one on water with no chute until this one.
This one is cool too. Not sure how you work up the courage. B-Roc - 22-2-2015 at 05:12 PM
ummmm... the wing suit water landing is a fake but Jeb is the real deal.soliver - 22-2-2015 at 07:49 PM
ummmm... the wing suit water landing is a fake but Jeb is the real deal.
I was wondering about that... Looked a little too perfect and slightly CGish. skimtwashington - 23-2-2015 at 06:53 AM
I wanna know how it was figured that a bunch of empty cardboard boxes so many high would SAFELY absorb impact..... and he would not burst through all
the layers right into the ground....

Is it or isn't it a NASA...? I hate to say it but imho it is a NASA design, single skin quick deployment, low sink speed, no foil could deploy as
quickly. Its a Rogallo the guy who was on the NASA team. How big? Your looking at @40sqm!GRB - 23-2-2015 at 04:39 PM
Not a NASA, conventional double surface production base canopy.GRB - 25-2-2015 at 04:31 PM
Deffo NOT a nasawing just a FLIK base canopy. GRB ,I take it you are a basehead?GRB - 26-2-2015 at 05:15 PM
Retired base head. Another PG company, air design announced another single surface glider due out soon. Cool stuff. First generation ones are slow,
new ones are supposed to be reasonably fast.Cerebite - 27-2-2015 at 05:44 AM

Boxes have been used for stunt landings forever, I expect they have the math worked out on how much box is needed for a given landing from a give
height
