Wingsuit Bungyjump (Jimmy Pouchert)

[mccordia 74]

I dont know if Im the only one, but I often wondered how fun it would be to make a high bungy-jump with a wingsuit on.

Jimmy Pouchert decided to skip the 'what if', and just do it..

ya I read about it in skydiving mag. Great idea and I'll def do it at some point. Only prob is he didnt get very far cause the rope was to heavy. From the looks of it he was flying a firebird. Maybe more surface area would have made the difference.

We should do that in a SM1 and see the difference.

Attach a big hook to your wingsuit, and a big loop at the end of the Bungy, and aim to catch it at the end of your flight...aircraft carrier stylee...

That elliminates the weight issue!

------------------------
what a good idea, you'd certainly improve your aim and you airnt very high to start with so it shouldn't hurt if you miss

Life is a series of wonderful opportunities,
brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.

Tony,

Let's build a bungee specific wingsuit. It can have a huge surface area. And a hook on the tailwing to catch the bungee!

Disclaimer: given the "HUGE" surface area this suit will have, we will make sure to scallop the wings so everyone still approves of us!

Man...And I sold my wingsuit. My doc said a hard opening will do me in, but I'm sure I could do this

I bet that Jarno would even agree that bungee-oriented wingsuit can have no cutaway cables, but just zippers!

How about a reverse bungie jump with a wingsuit. Slingshot style. Kind of like one of those little toys my kid has.

I'm behind the bar at Sloppy Joe's....See ya in the Keys!
