Love it. :y

Was thinking he had enough speed to pull up if needed, and there is a trace of his flight path on one of the other videos showing he does so briefly, but the text implys those suits aren't known for it. Wonder if that's due to wing area or just the strength in his arms...? :-\

Love the bit through the hole in the mountain. Nutter ;D

You're already supporting most of your body weight on outstretched arms and legs, so pulling a couple of G to avoid a crash would just dislocate all 4 limbs, I reckon. :o

Mad. Toying with Darwin himself. ;D

Yes, but the journey would be fun. ;) I'd enjoy taking the Westfield over a few of those passes if they weren't so far away (and if the barometric correction on my injection system could cope with the altitude. must fix that ::) ).

Excellent.

Wasn't there a Utube clip of two Chinese fighter jets going through that arch a while back?

Mind you, the death of Dwain Weston a few years back proves it doesn't always go to plan. Doh, who put that bridge there.  ::)

Agreed Terbert. Looks like it would be quicker to walk up the hill. Think I would consider a wing suit if I had to travel that road every day.  ;D

Couldn't find the fighter jets, but a bunch of pilots (most of whom are now in the Red Bull Air Races) did it back in 2000: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fu8S5vn6ShI

And if you think that's impressive, how about flying a biplane through the Arc de Triomph in 1919? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIZzkq5Y8q0

Just flying something that was around in 1919 would prompt an underwear change in me, I think. ;)
