A good friend died a few years ago wingsuit BASE jumping in the alps. It hit me hard. He was incredibly smart. He was one of the top guys in the sport. He was careful and deeply researched and understood the physics of wingsuits. Thus why I think the following quote from the article is dangerous because it might give the impression to certain people that they will outsmart the complexities:
"The simple truth is that wingsuit BASE jumpers don’t know what they are getting into, don’t know how to practice the sport safely, and don’t even know enough to know how little they know."
