Recreation: Wingsuit gliders talk about you above your head


Wingsuit flying is the practice of people dressing like birds and throwing themselves off of cliffs, planes, and kitchen counters I guess. The specially designed glider suits allow those falling to do so at a slower speed, and glide for much longer distances. It's pretty amazing to watch.



Apparently, while gliding, jumpers can even talk to each other. The noise of falling is subdued at their slower speeds. What do they talk about up there? Us flightless schmucks, probably.
