I think it’s the best discipline in skydiving hands down once you actually get decent at it. I will tell you this man, wingsuit flying is the most badass and most fun activity a human can do. However, this is still safe given the redundancies in skydiving and assuming you have the experience of 200+ skydives. The first 10-20 jumps in a wingsuit for most people involve spiraling into the abyss and recovering from a tumble. This can be mitigated with big, square canopies that are marketed as wingsuit specific canopies. Flying a wingsuit is a different level of flying your body and when it comes to deployments, line twists are the issue. It takes 200 skydives before most dropzones and coaches will even let you put on a wingsuit and it’s for a reason. I personally don’t recommend anyone try WS BASE without 500 wingsuit skydives and spending an entire season doing BASE with a track suit.Īs for regular wingsuit skydiving, this is a very safe sport but of course healthy progression is needed. Jumping off cliffs and getting away from the wall and keeping distance from objects? Fairly safe with the right amount of experience. I don’t care how good of a wingsuiter you are, it’s only a matter of when not if when it comes to death from proximity flying. Proximity flying is technical terrain flying close to the ground AKA what you see on YouTube. It CAN be safer with healthy progression and avoiding ‘proximity flying’. It is no shit the most dangerous and most extreme sport on the planet. So those wingsuit videos you see on YouTube are extremely, mega fucking dangerous. Now let’s take the next step and get you signed up for AFF!!
