The cool extreme sport of Wingsuit Flying, the ultimate sport among extreme sports

Wingsuit Flying, also called close-range gliding, refers to athletes wearing flying suits and parachute equipment with wings to fly from airplanes, hot air balloons, and cliffs. Jumping down from high places such as buildings and high-rise buildings, the flier uses body movements to control the direction of gliding and uses the body to perform unpowered air flight. When reaching the safe limit height, the athlete will open the parachute and land smoothly.
The equipment for this sport mainly consists of a wingsuit and a parachute. The pilot needs to jump from a certain safe height, fly with the help of the wingsuit, and when reaching a certain safe height, open the parachute to slow down and land. When you get to the ground, the parachute only plays the role of a final safe buffer for landing. Most of the entire process involves gliding through a wingsuit. This is the essence and fun of this sport.
Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland, is a mecca for wingsuit fans. 28 people have lost their lives there due to this sport. For the people of Lauterbrunnen, wingsuit flying is a plague that fell from the sky.
The latest fatal incident in global wingsuit flying occurred at the 2nd World Wingsuit Flying Championships at 3 pm on October 8, 2013. During the test flight in Zhangjiajie Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park, a Hungarian athlete died before landing. The parachute did not open and unfortunately he fell into the mountains and died.
