If you have ever dreamt of wearing a wingsuit and flying across peaks or plunging down sheer cliff faces, this video gives you the eight-point lowdown of attaining such feats.

Wingsuit flying is the sport of flying through the air using a wingsuit, which adds surface area to the human body to enable a significant increase in lift.

A wingsuit flight ends by deploying a parachute, and so a wingsuit can be flown from any point that provides sufficient altitude for flight and parachute deployment – be it a skydiving drop aircraft, or BASE-jump exit point, such as a tall cliff or mountain top.
