Man has been trying to take to the skies like birds since the dawn of time, and the best we can do now is to climb into flying machines or jump off of high objects (sometimes those same machines) to feel the rush. But taking cues from the flying squirrel, the wingsuit has got to be the closest thing we've found to actual flying. It's essentially a controlled (and FAST) more horizontal free-fall which allows you to fly without the need to be strapped an engine or stuck inside some kind of contraption. Now if I could only get one of these on a radio DJ's salary!
