I really wish I knew why the VIX starts at 3:10AM on daily sessions but the VXN starts at 9:30AM.

When I first learned about wingsuits, my first instinct was to try it out. As gutsy as I am, I also believe in full preparation, so I waited for the equipment to be perfected and techniques to be set. But I never forgot about it. Fast forward a few years and I bought an extreme sport DVD (yeah, it was that long ago <g>) on wingsuits. At the end of the program they paid homage to comrades with an asterisk next to the fallen ones. I counted the numbers. Something like 37% of them died over a 3 year period! That was the end of my wanting to try on a wingsuit. BTW, I used to fly hang gliders. So I thought that wingsuits are just taking it to the next level. But that is not the case. Firstly you lack the structural support that a hang glider provides - and that matters a lot, even when comparing it to paragliding. And perhaps more importantly, wingsuits prompt you to take chances that you'd never do with a hang glider or a paraglider. You just don't attempt to thread the needle with those.
