No...... I would have thought that it would be illegal for a parachutist to enter cloud and lose visibility with the drop zone just like it is for pilots losing visibility.

Parachutists don't hold an IFR rating to fly in IMC conditions or have suitable instruments except gravity to navigate and with these wing suit thingies they can travel a long way from where they left the aircraft, well outside they dedicated/allocated drop zone.

I just don't get it.
