This is really amazing. The art of flying the human body through the air using a special jumpsuit, called a wingsuit, that shapes the human body into an airfoil which can create lift.

Patrick was a true innovator in the sport, always one step ahead of everybody else. The wing suit was his own creation. He put endless hours of wind tunnel time on a prototype suit before he took to the sky with these wings. Patrick brought the wing suit to where it is today - an efficient flying wing with an airfoil that can be customized in flight by the human body.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.collthings.co.uk/search/label/Cool%20Video"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.collthings.co.uk/img/46073C4C-F24C-4F87-BD35-2548BE6F67EE" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.collthings.co.uk/search/label/Cool%20Video"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.collthings.co.uk/img/04A5A727-21C8-4FBB-9B25-D3A620F10B4A" alt="" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/410F177A-E3F3-4940-86B1-A54E7F34D470/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
