?Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming ?Wow! What a Ride!? ~ Hunter S. Thompson

I was wondering through the whole video how they landed then the last 2 seconds showed the parachute.  That's not much more than barely controlled free fall.

As cool as the wing suit is I want to know where that segment around the 3 minute mark was filmed.  that highway is awesome with all its hairpins and switchbacks.

If there's one thing I can't stand, it's snobbery and one-upmanship. People trying to pretend they're superior. Makes it so much harder for those of us who really are.

and I agree, the road has a really awesome shape. :D

The road does have really awesome shape, but don't want to see it that way!

I don't remember where this one was, but you can go to you-tube, do a wing suit search and find a bunch of these videos which have some description. Some are in places like Sweden, Switzerland, and Italy. Places with mountains I guess. 

There was one where a guy jumped off a cliff, back down pretending to support his head like he was lying on a bed for a couple seconds. Pretty funny looking.
Another place I read that most of these things took about a minute, but it seemed like several minutes to the jumpers.
