What is the landing speed, what is the stall speed of the suit, What is the glide ratio of that suit with his weight in still air no head wind. With right calculations you might be able to pull up, stall and land on feet if the glide ratio is high enough . . . or not
Gutsy. I bet the hardest part of this stunt, though, was all the math used to figure out just how far he could fly when jumping from a specific altitude. Would need to take winds into account, too. Kudos to the helo pilot for pre-positioning him so accurately. Even with a GPS there must have been little room for error.

@@OmmerSyssel Many folks don't understand we can control to a great degree, the glide ratio. it's not a fixed glide ratio, and depending on wingloading, G/R have been as high as 5:1. There are many examples of even brief climbs in altitude. Hitting the boxes was not any kind of calculation. Had he been any range within 1 mile of the target, hitting the target is relatively easy. Being able to pull a good stall like Gary did, or being able to contain the glide slope is the bigger consideration. Gary did this perfectly, as indicated by his stall just above the cardboard ramp, and his short touchdown length. The unknowable factor is the courage it took to jump with this goal in the first place. Funny side note, there are a couple wingsuit pilots who boasted for many years, that they'd be the first in the world to do this, presenting plans costing millions of dollars and years in planning. Gary heard these claims, and within a couple months had a plan and he just "did it." He is not only an incredibly talented person, he's als an incredibly genuine and humble man.

If you don't make it you will still land. This is amazing when you think about all the planning that went into it! The physics involved in doing this, knowing that you have one chance! The weight of a falling body in a wingsuit. The height of the drop. The wind speed, the direction of the wind. The down draft from the blades of the helicopter. The angle of insertion from the drop moment. The trajectory that is needed, the angle of approach, the flair point, etc. You did it! Now, you got lucky and don't do it again. The odds are against you.

Good to see that someone finally found a use for all those Amazon boxes. :) BTW: anyone know where this was filmed?
In addition to all the other complexities, his approach to land was a long straight in. With a left-base approach to the runway, one has more latitude. Coming in low, turn toward the runway sooner. Coming in hot and high, veer a bit farther from the landing zone before turning final. A long straight-in approach is the most difficult, especially with no power to control the rate of descent. Good job, Gary!

Son! That was outstanding!!!
It's not so mush the lack of a parachute but rather the sudden stop that gets ya every time...
amazing control to land exactly on a small strip of cardboard from a hight of 2,400 feet. in a wingsuit. Too bad most people do not understand how difficult it must be.

I get it, but I dunno, man. I don’t know how difficult brain surgery or heart transplants are, but I certainly don’t appreciate them any less. I also don’t even begin to understand how difficult it is to build a service like KZread and keep it running well enough for random people to leave comments on random videos, but I still appreciate the heck out of that, too. But when you do understand the difficulty, I’m sure it does add another dimension of appreciation for someone’s hard work. I work in cybersecurity and I can guarantee that people have no idea how difficult that is - you have to be right every single time and the bad guys only have to be right once - but I still keep doing it and love doing it. And I also appreciate how difficult it is to make sure that it’s you who’s making comments on your account instead of me or someone else. What I know about what I do does give me a greater appreciation of someone else’s excellence in my field. So I get where you’re coming from.
this is not landing, and you know that. This is called "Controlled Crash", but still awesome

A forced cardboard box landing
Based on what Deemster said. I wonder if you could actually do a landing on a runway with wheels, brakes, etc. Or touch and go until you lose so much speed you can just bounce off a couple boxes to stop. Or a padded wall.

Reed Icculus If he landed in water from that height even WITH a wingsuit he'd be dead. Slamming into water from heights like that is no different than hitting concrete...Mythbusters tested that myth ages ago..twice. Once with buster the dummy for breaking the water's surface tension with a hammer to make it survivable from a bridge's height and then later with simdavers from a helicopter..both times did NOT end well for the guy hitting water. The wingsuit isn't a parachute, it's more for a controlled long distance glide used with a parachute for a safe landing..without a parachute you'd be going too fast on landing to survive unless you did what Gary here did and used all those boxes to slow down his impact over time and distance upon contact..and I promise you that probably still hurt quite a bit on first impact even if it's softish cardboard.

Eventually somebody will figure out how to build a suit that can flare, which is all birds do to check forward momentum.

Actually Christopher flaring is not all birds do if you watch closely while they flare they employ reverse thrust with their wings this not only helps keep them aloft in the flare, but it also slows them down and assists the flare in stopping them...

@@FSEVENMAN From my perspective that's what a flare is, it's not just facing the wings forward in some fashion but a range of motion that checks airspeed. However, even if all a wingsuit can eventually do is check airspeed by changing the wing aspect, that's a great improvement that if it slows a person down enough a tumble landing could be had...no worse maybe than an army landing...a ww2 landing, lol. Less likely is a modern "step-off" landing imo.

The obvious problem is the timing of the flare. Too soon, quite the drop. Too late...
This could revolutionise wingsuiting. Amazing! A jumper leaps with 5,000 flat-packed boxes, assembles them, then does a few hundred assembly flybys to get them stacked before smacking into them, Head first, at about 40 mph. And hope they're not soggy... 😃

I kind of have a feeling he's moving a little bit more up there it at about 95 miles an hour I could be wrong though sir, terminal velocity is about 120 miles an hour, I dumped one of my motorcycles on the freeway doing about 55 or 60 miles an hour, I sure would have rather had them boxes just to decelerate my speed rather than bouncing on the freeway for about 200 ft 250 ft I just off my cuff I would say 95 miles an hour,

I guarantee you everyone that jumps out of a plane with or without a parachute or wing suit hits the ground. Simple logic.
That is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. The balls of this guy just to think about doing it. Maybe Icarus should waited until the invention of proper glue.
I was hoping to see a flair and land on his feet. Is the wing surface area too small to stall?
Scared me just watching! I couldn't do it if the landing site was big as a football field. Does anyone know the lateral distance covered when he jumped?
Pretty cool. Maybe you could add just a drag chute for the last bit, or some Stark Industries palm repulsors.
After reading all the commas still pretty impressive
liked the way boxes already behind him crunched up after he flew past them
Outstanding!
