Beschreibung

In 1998, the legend Patrick de Gayardon became the first person to fly through the air using a wing suit. Since that time, this type of parachuting has undergone enormous development. Whereas at one time, everyone jumped with a single wingsuit model, no matter whether they were a student or expert, today there are specific models, from a simple beginner's suit to a high-performance wingsuit with a glide ratio of up to1:3 (e.g. you fly a distance of three kilometres for a drop of one kilometre!). In addition to the distance that you cover during your jump, the significantly longer free-fall time (twice as long on average) is extremely appealing. The Wingsuit 1 course offers you the ideal basis with which to fly safely and at ease with a wingsuit.
