To the original question: Not that difficult, mentally stressful far
beyond anything you will do in a glider and of course unforgiving of small mistakes. Anybody fit, aggressive, and with reasonable aptitude could give it a go after a few seasons jumping every weekend(provided they were training for this as a goal.) There have been about a half dozen wingsuit proximity deaths in the last few years, no idea how many people are playing the game. If anyone wants to try understand it takes a tremendous amount of time(money helps) to travel to these places, learn lines, hike, wait weather, etc. Similar to racing sailplanes, you can't do it if you only have 2 weeks vacation a year. As the saying goes: Good pilots don't have real jobs... On Feb 9, 10:24*pm, John Doe wrote: I am not a pilot, but familiar with flight simulation. I know that gliding limits your ability to control altitude. This is extremely risky? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFQc7...feature=colike Mainly curious about how difficult that was. Thanks. |
