Wingsuit pre-inflation

[notsane 0]

I've come up with a technique for pre-inflating my wingsuit before exit that extends my freefall time and slows my descent. I pick someone in the aircraft (not the pilot) to pull on my finger. The sudden release of methane into the suit pre-inflates it and adds additional lift. I find this works especially well after a night of eating peanuts, boiled eggs and beer. As an added bonus the other jumpers exit the plane more rapidly. Please post your own research here.

don't forget methane is heavier than air...

That is nasty. It is like peeing in your wetsuit.

Or even worst, peeing in your dry suit

There is nothing nasty about peeing in one's wetsuit. If I plan ahead for a full bladder, and time the urination correctly, it is like turning on the heater just when I start to feel chilled--truly one of life's little pleasures.

Of course, peeing in your Birdsuit is wrong, wrong ...

We always called that "El Nino". But boy did it make your suit smell bad afterwards.

Totally off topic (like farting in a wingsuit is such a great topic ), but why is it ok to pee on yourself, but if your buddy let loose on your leg, you would punch him repeatedly? Same thing with farts.. Anyway.

The wetsuit does get pretty rank smelling if you do not thoroughly wash the urine out. Mine smelled so bad once that people around me noticed when I took it off.

I think peeing in one's Birdsuit would probably have the exact opposite effect, as evaporative cooling would chill the body instead of warming it.
