wingsuits
Webbed jumping attire
Wingsuits are jumpsuits with fabric panels stretched between the arms and legs, creating wing-like surfaces that allow skydivers or BASE jumpers to glide horizontally through the air before deploying a parachute.
The design transforms a vertical fall into controlled flight, letting jumpers cover significant horizontal distance: She flew through the canyon in her wingsuit.
