Now this is a jump!

f@#k me. Thought the first one I saw of these was a hoax, but there are tons of videos of wingsuit mountain jumps around it seems.

Officer material you see

Nah, they didn't get lost and end up back at the top.

I wonder what the maximum distance is of one of them. Suprised someone hasnt attempted to go round the world. Would be interesting thats for sure.

Think going round the world might be a problem seeing as the maximum distance is measured more vertically than horizontally.

Well a guy crossed the Channel with a similar type of suit, it had propper wings but same basic principle.

I tell you what though, how close do some of those guys in the first vid get to those mountains, I don't know if its just the angle of the camera but it looks as if their finger tips are about to hit the rocks

They've certainly got some balls, looks great fun though.

EDIT: Just found the vid of the guy "jumping" the Channel:

I'm thinking a 10 bore Browning with a 28-inch barrel would do the trick... "PULL".

Yep, that'd do 'er!
