So does anyone know if Jeb is pissed that he can no longer claim to be the first to try to land a wingsuit without a parachute??

There definitely may or may not be someone who can't tell us that Jeb isn't not pissed about the possibility of him not being the first person who may or may not be the first person who'll possibly try to land without using a parachute whilst flying a wingsuit. MAYBE!

Hope this clears it up...for the last time!

Ok, entertain me. who did it?
Take care and where is the video?

I think he's trying to make fun of the kid who fell out of his rig in Seb., Florida.

I don't think it's funny by the way.Kind of a sad attempt at being funny.

dude ..

what if he is referencing an earlier jump? see this thread.

I think Jeb and the rest of the guys that are trying to land a Wing suit are using the wrong design of suit to do this!
Instead of building a slide to land on I think they need to re-design the suit that they are using. All of the wing suits until now are designed to transfer your vertical speed more horizontal.....based on the concept of flight.
Has anyone ever really looked at the way they fly??? The fabric on the legs give you thrust, while the small wings give you a flight surface, Hence the high speeds forward. I think the fabric between the legs need to be less and more between the arms and legs for a slower decent rate,, kind of like a flying squirrel.
Check out some of the footage on this site http://www.flyingsquirrels.com

A flying snake can fly even much better!

I learned of this while I was in India.

I think landing without a parachute is nifty and all, but once Jeb does it I wouldn't be suprised to see someone do it in a tracking suit, if the angle of the slide is the same as the angle of decent and plains out in a way it won't put enough g's on the body to kill you then woopty freaky do your a world famous jackass! Land on dirt and I will be impressed! Until then its about having enough money to build a big water slide, and if you have the accuracy to hit it. My two cents.

The wife and I have neighbor that's a vet tech. She has to many animals and offered us two Sugar Gliders (for free). We told her these would make great wind indicators thrown off an object and would be totally innovative.....is this wrong?

dqpacker,
Killing baby seals and whales isn't funny, you have a f@#ked up profile.... Jumper burning in because he forgot his leg straps; now that's freaking hilarious.
Ryan,
I think you could land it though... You do have skills! Hope the couch is working. Remember, it's already christened. How's that for a thought!

If you tell us his name it will make it a better memory!

Remember we are still in the stone age when it comes to human flying, and just the last few years you have seen all the new exits popping up, where we did not believe was jumpeble 4 years ago!

That flying snake is so impressive! I have seen snakes, frogs, lizards, squirrols, but this snake is something!

The only wrong thing Hank is if you do not get the Toliet paper roll and send them on a dark journey before they fly!

Peace,
