Given the opportunity how many of you guys would base jump with a flight suit/wing suit ? I would do it in a heartbeat.

I don't think I would intentionally get that close to the ground. But the idea o flying that far is really cool!

If it is tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

Nope. It does look fun, though.

The whole costs involved with getting setup to do it. A suit costs anywhere from $1,500 on up. Not to mention I can't afford to take the time off work to mend myself if I was injured. However if someone offered to let me use their wing suit I wouldn't refuse. |

Well then why not just jump out of a plane, it's a lot cheaper... and some what safer.

The nearest cliffs that are large enough to jump from are a half days drive. I guess could always just go up in a plane and jump above a mountain and fly along it on my way down.
I'll start taking donations for a wing suit. |

I would do it in a heartbeat, but I am sure that there is some training you might want in the suits and parachutes before you try it. Looks like a rush and something I would love to do.
