Cusco,

that accident vid seems to show the guy's own misjudged time/space clearance for pulling the chute. Sure, it's related to wingsuit as they've got the chute until they perfect the right flare procedure for landing The guy got away fairly OK, considering the nature of the terrain. He could have resembled human snowball.
Agreed: but the accident is inextricably linked to the flight suit: No other idiot would pull the cord and open a parachute while alongside a rock face.

Do you imagine they'll ever perfect a 'flare' to land and thus be able to dispense with a parachute?
