The one clip right after the three guys back flip of the face is crazy it looks like he is moving so ****ing fast.

Jeffros Spec V · 11-30-2007, 12:03 PM

Also, I don't know that I'd be getting that close to rocks and roads and ****.

scutzi128 · 11-30-2007, 12:10 PM

Yea one mistake and they are dead at that speed.

[sr20]sean · 11-30-2007, 01:07 PM

james_ls · 11-30-2007, 01:09 PM

Wow.

Doesn't even look real.

+1

I rented that game after I played a demo of it....was pretty much the best game out.

grimm · 11-30-2007, 01:30 PM

yea thats fricking sweet!!

Cutlass372 · 11-30-2007, 05:45 PM

Damn thats pretty nuts. I've seen those suits before, but never used the way they are in the film. People usually just jump off a like building a soar down, the mountain stuff is crazy. Yeah, I remember when nights came out lol. I still actually have a sega saturn and that game, it stopped reading disks tho.. That and Daytona USA were the **** lol.

agoodall · 11-30-2007, 05:54 PM

ever see the Warren Miller ski film where they are in Switzerland base jumping( not the flying squirrel type) the spot they jump from is almost twice as high as this jump...If you have comcast Warren Miller Films are ON DEMAND for free

Sign me up.

Kevin · 11-30-2007, 06:01 PM

I'd try it.

ITSTOCK · 11-30-2007, 06:37 PM

I wonder how fast they are going? I also wonder (I would think that there would almost have to be) what kind of weight limit the suit has per surface area. What kind of height do they have to deploy the parachutes? They look damn low! The control that they have is just ridiculous!

That's one of the coolest things that I have seen thing! They're like flying squirrels, only cooler!

Cutlass372 · 11-30-2007, 06:49 PM

I think it said they were reaching speeds of around 100mph. Even in free fall can't the human body only fall up to around 120mph or so? I guess it really depends on your weight, cause once you reach a certain speed your not going to fall any faster. Towards the end of the video he pulls the chute and it seems like he is pretty low to be deploying it.. Not that this wouldn't be fun, but it would take alot of balls and its definatly something to work up to. Would have to try some regular diving first to get good at this.

JAT stewardess Vesna Vulović survived a fall of 33,000 feet (over 10,000 meters)[1] on January 26, 1972 when she was thrown from JAT Flight 364, after the plane exploded over Srbská Kamenice in former Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic). She broke several bones and was in a coma for 27 days.

Just read that on wikipedia. That is CRAZY to be able to fall that far and survive hitting the ground..

RSX Type-Slow · 12-04-2007, 05:21 PM

insanely awesome i'd love to do it but i'm a pusssy

MPowerKai · 12-04-2007, 05:41 PM

Those suits have been around for a very long time. A couple of years ago it was on Ripleys Believe it or Not and the suit traveled over 5 miles before the guy had to deploy his parachute
