Wingsuit Water Training Part II

This is the second installment in a three-part project where we explore wingsuits landing in water without intention. Conclusions have yet to be drawn, but we've got what we think are some good ideas and planned approaches.
Some of the video in this presentation has been slowed by 20% of original speed for purposes of examination.

Marine training ... we would use the suit to aid in floatation, capturing air, when feasable.

@danphillyman Good luck with that. FWIW, we've trained Marines. And Navy.

The suit isn't like a pair of jeans that you can toss over your head, capture air and survival float with.

Try it. After more than 50 entries and experiments, I'd suggest we have at least figured out what doesn't work.

What is the water temperature for example in Norway ? ;-)

[VASSTTraining]

@JerkCruel For example, the same as most anywhere in the same latitude? 50 F or 10C, depending on if you're wearing red or blue. ;)

This song is fucking awesome! I'd love to jam in a band like this. Hell yea

[beardedswine]

if you've ever landed in water in han wags i'd like to hear how it went. i've jumped in my pool a few times in them to see how they go and they're not much fun. would hate to add a wingsuit into the equation

*han wag boots

[beardedswine]

i'm not looking forward to the day i accidently land in water in my V4 and hangwag boots. i'm sure most base jumpers will know what i'm talking about. i really don't think i'd get out of it all in time

[errepeerre]

What's the band?
