Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites fergs 0 #10 June 9, 2006 Hector, thanks for posting the movie. I for one, see many lessons to be learned - perhaps the three most important are: 1. Use a cypress - and make sure it is turned on 100% of the time. 2. Wear a helmet if anyone else is in the air with you. 3. Wingsuits can create very fast closing speeds - so be aware all the time of where all others are. At least this accident has a happy ending - and even with injuries, he must be thanking his lucky stars for surviving. fergs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
