Wingsuit

Description:

This lightweight wingsuit/skydiving suit was manufactured in Australia. Its design provides skydivers with detachable “wings” under the arms that allow the wearer to steer themselves through the air in a more controlled freefall than if they were wearing a tight fitted, wingless jumpsuit. The “wings” act as sails for a downward fall before a parachute is deployed closer to the earth’s surface. A typical freefall from 10,000 to 14,000 feet in the air can last from 30 seconds to one minute, and how one spends that time depends on the equipment at hand. A wingsuit definitely adds to the possible thrills of the sport.
