I think that if they pop their chutes at 140 miles an hour they would not survive the impact of the chute opening. Do they have an airspeed indicator, at least when they are learning how to "fly."? Do they listen to the sound of the wind like glider pilots? Just how do they know when it is safe to release the chute?; Reply to this comment


by jerlesj October 11, 2009 9:36 PM EDT: There are many segments on 60 Minutes over the years that have inspired me, moved me, made me proud of my country, or just gave me that good feeling that life is far more wonderful than we really appreciate. As one who is getting into the years when I'm starting to consider my "bucket list," the feature on the flying suits and these incredible men (and women?) compel me to look into the sport. I'm also thinking, "What could these guys ever hope to put on their bucket list to compare with their experiences?"; Reply to this comment
