Parachuting and skydiving are considered statistically to be pretty safe. It is rare for a skydiver to die due to a malfunction of a main and reserve parachute (every skydiver carries a reserve).
So the dangers:
Do not try to think how dangerous parachuting is, but how much fun can be had participating in it. The human body was never designed to fall at 120mph, so when you take part in a group formation skydive with a 4-way jump, its a massive adrenaline buzz.
I would recommend a tandem jump course as your first one. Its very safe and you will be with a qualified instructor.
Death. That's the danger.
Wingsuit flying can take place anywhere where skydiving services are available that accommodate this type of flight. Wingsuit base jumping however, requires large cliff faces preferably over 800m in height. Popular destinations for wingsuit base jumping include Norway, Switzerland, Italy and the USA. Potential and largely unexplored wingsuit base jumping sites in the future include Tasmania (Australia), New Zealand, Canada and Patagonia
They can compete is 2 areas - accuracy and forward speed flying (wingsuit & tracking). The World BASE Race is one such organiser of events in Switzerland and Norway.
The two main dangers are collapsing structures and flying debris as a result of extreme winds.
Hey, uhmm you need a total of 200 minimal jumps and be over 18, if your like me and still in you 14-16 you really want to get out there ;D But yeh thats pretty much it :)
birds getting caught in the engine or getting shot at for flying over hostile territory
Season 7, Wolfe in Sheep's Clothing.
depends on the suit, you can get one from EG starting at 1099.00 USD
Flying cars already exist. The first true flying car was built in 1937 by Waldo Waterman. The concept of the flying car has never come to reality in any numbers due to many factors. Cost, landing strips, dangers of people flying cars when they have a hard time even driving a car.
Dangers include extreme winds, flying debris, shattered glass, falling trees, and the possibility of collapsing buildings. In the immediate aftermath downed power lines are also a danger.
The main hazards from a tornado are flying debris, extreme ly powerful winds, and downed power lines.
no... you can glide though... its called a wingsuit, popular among skydivers
Well, you definately have to have a helmet, a wingsuit and a parachute(obviously), but what else do you need?
