Listening to: Strike Up the Band - Talk Talk

Last summer I did a tandem sky dive. While it was cool it’s not the life changing
exercise a number of canopy heads I know make it out to be (i.e. I wouldn’t take it
up as a hobby and I have done other no-chemical things that have given me a bigger
buzz for longer). One of the guys jumping out of my plane was a wing-suit flier.
These guys are a special sort of nutter. I came across this article yesterday:

Pioneer B.A.S.E. jumper Jeb Corliss and Go Fast! - sponsored test pilot Luigi
Cani, have paved the way for a world record landing attempt of a wing-suit—minus
a parachute. Jeb and Luigi teamed up to gauge speeds and gather data to safely land
Jeb’s wing-suit.

That’s right… they want to land a wing-suit without a parachute.
