incredible ! - just always makes me wonder how many of the test pilots of these suits still survive 🙁

Looks great fun, I'd love to give that a go. Maybe not quite so close to the ground though.

All current users are more than happy with their suits.

Unhappy users get buried and make no complaints after landing.

Thus everyone is happy.

So how do you land one of those suits? Curl into a ball and eject a parachute or something?

I soooooo badly want to be able to do that.

Alas, no suitable places to try it in Cambridgeshire

S'not really flying...it's more like controlled-(ish) falling. Must be a hell of a rush though

there is (or used to be, not searching for it again) a vid on Youtube that shows what happens when this goes wrong... chap slamming into a bridge... at least it'd be quick and painless (you'd hope!)

Amazing footage though, crazy stuff...

this ground affect jumping is proper amazing !!!! i could happily watch these vids all day
apparently they can lower their descent speed to 30mph by doing 100mph laterally.

Why do they wear helmets?
The clip where they fly close to a hairpin bend is on the Trollsteigen road in Norway, I rode up it on my motorbike a couple of years ago, that was hairy enough for me.

The Gog Magog Hills ain't gonna cut it, really!

Smoke is just a flare I think. Because it looks cool?
