They did a short special on some guy who does it on SportsCenter once. I think it was his escape of depression or something.
Anyway, he did it one time with a friend of his, and the plan was to jump and one go over a bridge and one go under. Right before they jumped his friend said "Whatever happens happens" or something like that. They jump, the friend fucking slammed right into the bridge. Death on impact. They showed the video too, it was kinda shocking because I wasn't expecting it. Unfortunately I can't find the video anywhere.
It does look fucking fun though.

yeah the guy on the show i watched slammed into a mountain, got real fucked up, almost died. it was like his 4000th jump or some shit too. as soon as he was healed he started jumping again.
id still do it, but i bet its pricey for one of those suits, and you really have to know what you're doing.

Bat shit nuts.
It would be amazing, but I don't trust the wind.
I would however be down for Skydiving, as long as it was someone I trusted.

Yeah, those guys are starting to take those wingsuits to the extremes. I remember when I first saw these things a few years ago. I think this was this video I first saw them in. It was pretty impressive the first time but looks like kids play compared to what those guys are doing now.
