Re: Jeb Corliss "Grinding The Crack"
Absolutely amazing and rivetting stuff.
It seems a man in a wingsuit might have about the same glide ratio efficiency as the space shuttle, described by a NASA engineer as approximating that of a falling pair of pliers. That pull up, ( as much as one could pull up in one of those rigs ) so close to those balloons. -- I would be wanting a nice thick kevlar breastplate and codpiece on front in case I scraped the ground. Technology, both in flight and in motion imaging is out of this world when I think back to the time of my childhood when this stuff would have been unimaginable, except perhaps in the Buck Rogers storybooks. I am not too sure how long this man will last doing what he is doing. Somehow, I don't think languishing in aged care is on his agenda. Last edited by Bob Hart; August 30th, 2011 at 04:58 AM.
