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.
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.

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!

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.

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
NASA wings -1 to 12m [mostly KM4]
Foils -2 -12m [mostly PL & Pansh]
