I just happened to be channel flipping the other day and caught this story right as it started.

When the one jumper at the start of the segment makes the close fly-by and it sounded like a jet fly-by at an airshow I was just in awe.

The fellows themselves seem like some pretty cool dudes.

I heard a news/sports article that someone was trying to designing a landing "slide" for these type of jumpers and hoping to devise a way to safely glide onto it on the ground and land without a parachute.?? Didn't pick up any more detail than that but.

About as pure flight as a human can get.
That was great.
