Given the chance, would you try this?

I simply cannot get over the fact that he misses the ground by a mere meter, give or take. This looks like an amazing sport, but I'm not sure I'll ever get myself to try it out. Would you?

no "grills"
 
Did a tandem skydive on my honeymoon in Namibia, was awesome stuff jumping out at 11,000 feet.
This must be amazing for an Adrenalin junkie, wonder what the 'bounce' death rate is......

Exactly, this is what bothers me. Maybe he has more control over his height than we realise, but still, it seems very risky.

I paraglided from Leeukop with an instructor once. It was a great experience, but this wingsuiting seems to be on a whole different level.
 
Mistakes happen, saw a doccy where Corliss' teammate died when he flew/glided into a bridge.
Also, when doing the Matterhorn he said afterwards he almost k@cked himself, thinking that he misjudged his angle and he's too close.

Still want the suit tho, maybe just use it in open air vs hugging some cliff.
