Which would fit as an actual definition of "Landing a Wingsuit"

[stitch]

1. Wingsuit pilot lands using only one of the current suits on the market and his skill, planning, etc.

2. Wingsuit pilot lands still in horizontal position in a specially designed and engineered cone-shaped object. As a ball might be thrown into a catchers mitt.

3. Wingsuit pilot uses specially designed and engineered suit with a dynamic deaccelaration feature (NOT A PARACHUTE) that is also capable of controlling pitch and axis When activated during landing sequence brings pilot from horizontal to a vertical landing on his/her feet with little or no forward airspeed.

4. Other opinions

I'd say #4. If you jump and land without a parachute and it is repeatable with no injuries...

I'd say number 1 if you count the rollerman's suit. that suit, a wingsuit over top somehow, and the perfectly sloped road with no traffic. It'd theoretically be repeatable if ever accomplished once and wouldn't need a multimillion dollar landing platform that totally defeats the idea IMHO.

Jeb is going to have something built that slows his freefall descent to make it survivable? I have one of those. Shit, I have four, they're called parachutes. I think landing a wingsuit would mean to actually land it, not have some fancy NASA cone built. Just my two cents.

Did you ever see Robbie Maddison's New Years Eve Jump? Landing ramps are optional but highly recommended.

The cone may offend some people but who's to say that's really what he's really planning to use?
