Do you always need training before you fly a wingsuit?

YES!! Flying wingsuits is an extremely dangrous form of 'extreme sport', probably the most dangerous one of all, and you need to know exactly how to move your body to control the suit so that you remain level. It's very easy to get caught in a thermal or a turbulent air pocket, which can cause you to lose balance and tumble downwards out of control- a situation it's almost impossible to recover from in a wingsuit.

Even experienced suit-flyers take great risks when they fly, so careful and rigorous training is essential if you wish to avoid death or serious injury.
