Wingsuit diving
Wingsuit diving (or Wingsuit flying) is a sport. A wingsuit diver wear a special outfit with long sleeves that look like wings. He also wears a helmet and a parachute. Like bungee jumpers, the wingsuit diver jump from a high place. However, they jump from a place even higher, bridges and buildings are too low.
The wingsuit let the diver glide through the air. The air lifts the suit's "wing". The diver finally land with his parachute.
Wingsuit diving is very strenuous. It's hard to control the wingsuit. In order to become a wingsuit diver, you must parachute from a plane at least two hundred times! Wingsuit diving is very rare, but it is becoming more and more popular each year. Now there is also a yearly event called World Wingsuit Championship.
