wing suit
Human flying membrane
A wing suit is a jumpsuit with fabric panels between the arms and torso and between the legs, allowing a skydiver or BASE jumper to glide horizontally through the air before deploying a parachute.
The design mimics a flying squirrel's membrane.
Wing suit flying combines the thrill of freefall with controlled flight: She flew her wing suit through the mountain pass.
