I saw video of this guy flying his rig on ABC news. Jumped from somewhere
around 30K using oxygen and a specially heated suit.

Since we were discussing glide ratios earlier, I fail to believe he would have
made it that far if his wing set-up was made of lead. He'd have been feeding
the sharks at the bottom of the channel faster then a speeding bullet.

Oh, and he almost "kilt" his own crazy self at the end of the flight when some
of his parachute cords got all tangled up, but it looked like a pretty cool
ride.
