Yeah, that's true. Wingsuits need at least ~1500' in order to get it flying well. People have jumped from 1000' with it but it's not like it does anything. You just fall straight down. I can jump from 1000' and cover about 800-1000' without a suit but I have an unusual body type that allows that kinda flight.

Thanks for posting all that info! Interesting stuff. I'll have to get ahold of that dvd so I can watch it all.
