Flying Suits

Check out these flying suits. You put them on and jump off a cliff and you can fly. It's amazing. You hafta keep your arms out though and stay away from anything the suit might snag on. When you are ready to land, you close your arms and pull the rip cord of a parachute:

Yeah - I think I'll pass. LOL! Yikes-a-hooty! Why fly around the mountain? I think it would be "safer" if you were over the ocean or something. These people are crazy. I need a Xanax.

Pass the Xanex please, that made me queasy.

Base jumpers are insane anyway, IMO, but it takes a special kind of crazy to "fly" around next to rocks and other people at such high speeds. I thought that the one was going to fly right into the rock, and after having seen footage of a paratrooper who lost one or both of his legs when it/they was/were sheared off after hitting another skydiver, this looks like injury or death waiting to happen.

I'm with y'all. I'd never do it. But it looks interesting.
