Some skydiver (the name is beyond me at the moment) plans on using one of those bat suits to land without the aid of a parachute, his idea was landing on a very steep ramp that would be lubed up some how and the ramp would eventually level out and become flat. This guy has got some balls, he told Colbert that there are others around the world also trying to do a unassisted landing.
wow I wouldn't wanna be the first to try it!

People have tried landing with wing suits. They drop into say a valley and then as the hill starts to go up they pull back and slow and and gently land on the uphill slope, so gentle that i think something like 5 people have died trying.
