Post by: Nakor on January 07, 2009, 09:42:44 PM My ex boss rolled down that cliff - can't find the video, will try and pick it up from work tomorrow, worth a watch.

Title: Re: omg, this is amazing. Post by: The_nun on January 08, 2009, 09:34:24 AM How the hell do they land?
Another dumb ass question is when they tuck and spin during flight why don't they suddenly drop fast as thier wings arn't holding them up them?. [ ] I want a go. [ ] They make suits sturdy enough to hold my weight. Title: Re: omg, this is amazing. Post by: WYSINWYG on January 08, 2009, 09:55:42 AM How the hell do they land? They kill their velocity and descent by pitching upwards, then they deploy the parachute you can (just) see on their backs. Another dumb ass question is when they tuck and spin during flight why don't they suddenly drop fast as thier wings arn't holding them up them?. Conservation of momentum. The trajectory they were on more or less continues without the lift provided by the wings, gravity only overcoming it gradually when the lift factor is removed. Title: Re: omg, this is amazing.

YVVW :D :D Some company is working on a landing system without a parachute, unsure how that would work. Rollerskates? :D Title: Re: omg, this is amazing.

Climbing the hill is enough for me tyvm. oooh, look at the lovely view... walking back down ftw, maybe with some hillwalking poles to ease the strain on the ol' knees. Mug of cocoa at the bottom, fab day out with no need for splints or rescue helicopters. Title: Re: omg, this is amazing. Post by: The_nun on January 08, 2009, 02:17:30 PM wow, just wow.
