• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

wingsuits, for those that like to climb mountains but aint so keen on climbing down em :icon_lol:
 
i think those are pretty awesome..would love to try that...need to lose a couple hundred pounds first...

i also wonder....has our (or any ) military AirBourne units thought of using this tech ?....i mean in theory you could have troops jump from a C17 several miles away from the DZ,away from enimy eyes,,and have them silently "fly" in to the target.deploy theyre chutes and bingo....ofcourse someone would have to comeup with a way to transport arms..
 
Hey Daveroo...

The military already has a means of deploying airborne troops many miles from their intended landing zone so that they arrive undetected. It's called HALO......High Altitude Low Open. The guys jump from their plane WAY UP THERE (like 35,000 feet), glide for many miles.....I have seen reports of them covering upwards of 26 miles of horizontal distance....and pop their chutes at around 1000 feet.
