I like to think he did his glides with his balls hanging out. Like a flying squirrel.

Haha always my first thought too. Wingsuit stuff is amazing, but how do you build up to that?

I've read you have to go skydiving 200 times before they'll allow you to buy a suit

Always wondered how often these guys die?

Also all of the planning that goes into the jump? Meaning landscape that allows for the super close flying stuff and then a proper drop off for a landing area?

Often. I've been doing a lot of reading about it. These guys half expect to die every time.
