Wingsuit flying is 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. The wingsuit creates the airfoil shape with fabric sewn between the legs and under the arms. It is also called a birdman suit..
Watch Loïc Jean-Albert as he performs various stunts dangerously close to a mountain wall while wingsuit flying. It’s one of the seldom seen extreme sports but now wing suit flying will feature for the first time in the 2008 Chamonix Winter Outdoor Games.
