super fun flight through the death star in the dolomites, flying a corvid 2. this was a very visual jump followed by a long glide over the trees

Wow, that was crazy! So very cool!! Thanks friend. So fun to see what adventures other VR creators are on and are willing to let me join in their adventure in VR.

Can you stall a wingsuit - and then drop like a rock?

[@JJBruno1]

yup you definitely can and it takes a lot of altitude to recover from one. it's important to maintain speed especially when close to terrain and to not commit to terrain that is too flat

[@johngritjohngrit140]

Too flat? Because there is no chance to increase altitude in flat terrain?@@JJBruno1

@@JJBruno1 So if your parachute doesn't work, and in emergency situations, can you theoretically stall yourself close to the ground as possible and lose forward speed, then drop to save your life?

[@JJBruno1]

@@nz6241 there have been a couple lucky people to survive an [unintentional] landing with no parachute out, but it's extremely unlikely - we can only slow down the forward speed so much, usually in the 60mph range at best so even at stall speed you're still going too fast

You really would want to be confident of your glide ratio for this one…
