What would you do? And what do you think the survival chances are in this situation wearing a birdman suit vs not wearing one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #2 October 10, 2002 If your reserve streamers, you ain't cutting that sonofabitch away, so your wingsuit would not help you there. I don't see any way I would have a reserve total, so there is not sense thinking about it in my opinion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macaulay 0 #3 October 10, 2002 If the reserve is out at all, you really wouldn't be able to fly the suit. If it's stuck, I'd fight like hell to get it out. But if my rig magically disppeared, which is basically impossible, I would try to reduce my fall rate as much as possible for impact. However, the best way to get low speeds is to dive first, and I don't really have any experience swooping the suit in for a landing, so I'd probably pound in. - Mac Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumpy 0 #4 October 13, 2002 You never know...could be like one of those stories where mothers are able to lift cars to save there babies and all that kinda crap. With the chance of sudden death you might fight so hard to save yourself that you do and what a story it would be. Then again you might not..... lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
