Tandem wingsuit base
A high profiled jumper, have seeked my advise for where to make the world first tandem wingsuit base. I am quite upset, but also curious since I believe it will be a future wuffo activity, but it will still take years to develop a system, and experience to make it as safe as possible.

Im a bit unsure I am willing to assist, what do you all think about it?

Think it is a great idea, everyone wants to do it after watching YouTube footage. Maybe this could save lives.

Possibly use solid dropbars to connect the student to form a biplane style 2 wing setup. Just need to remember student is lower than you if proxy flying.

According to the proto type of the wingsuit "rig", it will be a "one piece" intergrated wingsuit rig to make it as slick as possible.

Tandem biplanes have been done from airplanes now for 10 years soon.

Ive been planning this for about a year now. The only way to do it right is to have a dual wingsuit attachment system-one for both jumpmers, and of course a two canopy system. A main and bely -mount reserve. Now add gopros on each foot, helmet and wrist of both fliers. Its not that extreme, but everyone has to start somehwere. Eventually a train-style wingsuit will be developed that allows 2 or more fliesr to be attached human centipede style and really snake through canyons and small holes in your trailer at the DZ. Tits!

for the train exit I would recemend a huge tube louncher.

Landing gear for the tandem wingsuit base you can get from the Rollerman.

Actually a rollerman gear should take away the lower leg problem for a high speed landing.
