It's nice to see they're being safe and wearing helmets. :-)

That's not flying, that's falling with style. :)

HA! I was going to say that too.

My friend just took on this hobby after 300+ regular jumps. I've only
heard of one person landing without a parachute in a wing suit and he
landed in one of those huge stuntman piles of cardboard boxes. The
*slowest* speed of one of these is about 90mph and the best glide ratio
is around 2.5 (1m down, 2.5m forward).

That would be yes.  Read someplace day before yesterday over at a friend's place who's a big skydiver.
