??? How come they never showed any of them 'landing'???? Looks like maybe "Zoom - Splat"???

Bob...the video does show one landing or at least his parachute has deployed. The parachute is in the pouch on their backs!

Wonder if these guys carry 'collision' insurance...doubt it, that would suggest a some thought processes that are surely foreign to them...

Maybe more like Bullwinkel!!
You better know there are no 'outcroppings' along your path of decent..... or you will get the "Zoom, Zoom, Splat" effect...

Some people around here get the same 'rush' by driving on the local freeways! ... At least nature stopped this kind of 'transport' by mammals with those 'flying' squirrels! Seems that squirrel brains sometimes end up in bigger bodies!
For some reason, this reminded me of the time we saw a guy getting ready to jump off the side of a mountain in some kind of glider contraption from right above us as we were driving up the winding road! We didn't actually see him jump, or land. Hope he made it without causing any accidents.
