Apache Wingsuit

Most Dangerous Object in the Office: Wingsuit

Wired.com by Steven Leckart, January 25, 2010

Corporate bigwigs get golden parachutes to ease their exits. We’ve got the silicone-coated Apache wingsuit and UC-3 BASE jumping rig. It won’t help pay off the mortgage, but if a meeting gets really awkward, we can suit up, shout, “Later, suckaz!” and leap from the third-story window. Trouble is, we’d be about 960 feet short of the recommended 1,000-foot minimum for a jump. Maybe we can persuade the brass to hold meetings on the roof. 

Watch the Wingsuit in action!

    Why I Love The South (Click to View Photos)

    • Thumb_lg_IUB
      Helen and I grew up in the heart of the land of The Pilgrims, Quincy, Massachusetts. After enlisting, the Navy sent me to Norfolk, Virginia, where I spent the better part of five years. In 1970, we moved to Jacksonville Beach, Florida, where we have lived ever since. As a young 18 year-old sailor from New England, I experienced quite a culture shock when first visiting the South. Over the years, I have learned to love living in Dixie. Although, I didn't personally photograph the subjects here, they well represent, the culture of the South.
