So Pitted – Wingsuit Terrain Flying – Brendan Weinstein

The biggest risk factor is the exit. If you slip or have the wrong initial angle of attack, you will start flying at a lower altitude. On some exits, there is no room for that and on others it just means you have to abandon your initial plans. After the exit though, it's all super relaxed and fun, especially with the trees. Some of the trees have thin branches at the top that you can brush against without hurting yourself :)

We practice the exits a lot and measure our start arcs with GPS devices on forgiving objects. Based on the GPS tracks from forgiving objects and the consistency of our start arcs, we move to progressively more challenging exits. The same strategy applies for proximity lines.
