I searched 7 or 8 different terms, so SIAP.

And yes, it was inspired by the 90's cartoon Tailspin.

That looks really cool. However, I will not be one of the first people signing up to take a ride

The first time someone dies performing this brilliant activity the media will portray it as an utter tragedy, but, honestly, this is just expediting Social Darwinism. As a result, I mildly support this.

I mean, it's almost inevitable that someone will eventually frick up and die doing this, but that hasn't stopped the wingsuit people. You read about a death one day, it's tragic, and a week later you see more wingsuit videos on YouTube.

Looks awesome. So I see that the rider lands via parachute, but what about the board. Seems like it would crack up when the plane touches down.

The models look pretty stable on takeoff, but I don't remember a shot of them landing. Maybe they cut all of those out.
