Basejumpers wearing wingsuits fly inches from the walls of mountains.
Wingsuit flying is the art of flying the human body through the air using a special jumpsuit, called a wingsuit, that shapes the human body into an airfoil which
can create lift. The wingsuit creates the airfoil shape with fabric sewn between the legs and under the arms.
A wingsuit can be flown from any point that provides sufficient altitude to glide through the air, such as skydiving aircraft or BASE jumping exit points.
The flier will deploy a parachute at a planned altitude and unzip the arm wings so they can reach up to the parachute control toggles and fly
to a normal skydiving or BASE jumping landing.
