They have parachutes. They are probably integrated into the suit to minimize air resistance.

I wonder how much turning control they have while they are falling?
They have pretty complete control. See the suit they're wearing? The flaps of cloth can be moved like the aileron of an airplane to control bank angle and direction.
craziness!1!

"I think it's stupid. Why risk that when you can go hangliding. That's has to be dangerous. People are not birds, and those people arn't flying, they're just gliding."
"risk" thats the point. Handgliding is for douche bags
They are gliding at 10 miles per fucking hour.
"Maybe if they gave the suit a lot bigger wings. That you can flap".
Thats sounds like alot more fun flapping around like a butterfly
rather than cruising at a cool 100 miler per hour and having the
earths beautiful wind smack your balls around. They would look like
a bunch of douche bags and nobody would watch that vid.
"And how do they land? Do they have a parachute. Didn't look like it"
They slide accross the road like they are sliding into home base.
The parachute depolys at the end of the video.

wow that would take some huge balls
Nah. They tend to get in the way and gravity does a fine job without the extra weight.
