Why not? 5 Vocabulary Talking about music 6 7 Speaking 8 Writing 9 Reading 10 Wingsuit flying is a type of skydiving for which a special jumpsuit, often called a WINGSUIT, squirrel suit or birdman suit, is used. It consists of two arm wings and a leg wing, which increase the skydivers’ surface area and allow them to fly great distances, gliding along almost like a flying squirrel or an eagle. High-tech nylon cells in the suit help the skydivers stay in the air even longer. The wingsuiters use their body to control forward speed, direction, and how high they want to be. It can take years of practice to be able to achieve efficient flight. Experienced wingsuit flyers simply jump from cliffs or mountain tops, spread their arms and soar through the air. In a sense, wingsuit flying is a cross between skydiving and hang-gliding. A wingsuiter can go downwards 80% slower than regular skydivers but fly at horizontal speeds of up to 350km/h.
