SkyDiving- With no Parachute!!!

AWhile ago Franz Reichelt decided to put his life at risk, when he attempted to skydive off the Eifel Tower in France. Now when we think of skydiving we think of using a parachute, but strangely Franz Reichelt decided he was going to try it without a parachute.

He tried what no-one had ever done before and jumped without a chute. Yes, you heard correctly without a chute. In fact all he was wearing was a dress type clothing with "small wings" flapping from the side. Although this was supposed to let him glide gently to the ground (this was no suicide attempt at all), unfortunatley to us and to the horror of the ground standing below watching his extravagant jump, he free falled 60 meters to his death.

Due to his extra-ordinary attempt many people still want to revive the idea of birdpeople between all of us. Currently there are two teams, around the world, of sports specialists trying to make this a reality, for all of us. How about that free falling for fun, i like it!!!

During the free fall the fallers will reach terminal velocity of about 195 kilometers per hour!!! The only problem with this idea is that for the wingsuite to keep you alive the wings will have tobe enormous and really strong. For example you will need 20 square inches of materials to lift one pound.

Comment please do... Soon charlie the uniform four will be available at this very site!!!
