I don't know if any of you have seen the Fios commercial where a guy flies from a mountain into a house, with a winged suit on. Every time I see it, I wondered if it was "real" or all on green screen. Well, today, I finally Googled it and they show a "how it's made" video. I loved it and thought some of you might like it too!

Holy smokes, that is amazing. I assumed that the flying person was all done in studio, and to think they had them jump off that cliff numerous times. Thanks for the link.

Go to the GoPro web site and your will see dozen of movies of flying wing suits and many in Switzerland. This sport has been going on for years and of course you pop your shoot to land.

That said, I think it was either this year or last that a Brit actually flew his wing suit right to the ground, landing on loads of cardboard boxes and never pulled his chute. It may also be on the GoPro web site somewhere.
