In wingsuit strange to many people, but the sport is really about ironing, flying, a type of skydiving, people jump off planes or though it takes place in extreme conditions, for example on high mountains and fall down freely. The jumpers mountain tops, or while skiing or canoeing. All you need is an wear special suits called wingsuits or birdsuits.

  • Design and Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis of an Idealized Modern Wingsuit
    Design and Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis of an Idealized Modern Wingsuit Maria E. Ferguson Washington University in St. Louis Advisor: Dr. Ramesh K. Agarwal Abstract The modern wingsuit has been the subject of few scientific studies to date; the prevailing design process remains the dangerous “guess-and-check” method. This study employed the commercial CFD flow solver ANSYS Fluent to solve the steady Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations with several turbulence models. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) results provided information on the flow about a wingsuit designed with an airfoil cross section and relatively large planform with aspect ratio 1.3 at a Reynolds number of 5.5×106. The CFD simulations were performed using the k-kl-ω Transition turbulence model for the 2D Gottingen 228 airfoil and with the Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model for the 3D wingsuit. Although the lack of experimental data available for the wingsuit flight makes the true CFD validation difficult, the results for the 3D wingsuit were analyzed and compared to the 2D airfoil, for which the computations were validated against the data from the airfoil/wing management software Profili 2.0. The Gottingen 228 airfoil had a maximum lift coefficient of 1.97 and a stall angle of 13°. The wingsuit had a maximum lift coefficient of 2.73 and reached a stall angle of 48°, which is higher than that of the 2D airfoil due to the 3D planform and induced drag. The computational results indicate that the wingsuit as designed shows promise and could likely perform well under typical wingsuit flying conditions.

  • Daredevil Doc
    Daredevil Doc Hip surgeon understands the call of ‘the endless playground’ By Jane Palmer It takes a special kind of doctor to treat Boulder County’s fitness- and adventure-obsessed sporting community—one who understands athletes’ minds as well as their bodies, one who truly grasps the drive to push physical boundaries. No one knows this better than Omer Mei-Dan. As well as being a surgeon at the University of Colorado’s Sports Medicine clinic, he has been an extreme-sports athlete for more than 30 years. The desire to push the limits? He’s felt that, sometimes daily. The thrill of taking risks? He gets it. The need to enjoy the beautiful outdoors? He understands. The challenge of coming back after serious injury? Been there, done that, multiple times, and he has the scars to prove it. “I think that everybody has the right to practice the sport that they love and pursue their dreams,” says Mei-Dan, 41. “My role as a doctor is to fix them and to make sure they return to their sport safely.” ‘They Thought We Were Crazy’ Mei-Dan’s love of sports began in his home country of Israel, where he grew up on a kibbutz. At age 10, with his younger brother, he started surfing in the Mediterranean. The two had no wetsuits and wore sweatshirts to keep them warm, even in the periodic hailstorms. Their parents, huddled in a car, would watch in disbelief. “They thought we were crazy,” Mei-Dan says. “But they trusted our judgment and ability to deal with these unique situations, even in a sport that was practically unknown at that time.” And those adventures were just a start.

  • Taking Risks and Doing Gender Among BASE Jumpers
    “I Don’t Want to Die, But I Accept That it Can Happen”: Taking Risks and Doing Gender Among BASE Jumpers by CAITLIN ANDREA FORSEY B.A. (Honours), University of Winnipeg, 2007 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Sociology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2009 © Caitlin Andrea Forsey 2009 Abstract Using ethnographic data generated through semi-structured interviews with 16 male BASE jumpers, observations of over 1000 BASE jumps (parachuting from fixed objects such as Buildings, Antennas, Spans and Earth), and textual analyses of BASE-related websites, images, and publications, this research provides a sociocultural analysis of the relationship between masculinity and voluntary risk-taking. Drawing on wider debates about modernization, individualization, technology, gender relations, embodiment, and the sociology of the everyday, I illustrate the multifaceted nature of this phenomenon, in addition to the advantages of using a theoretically diverse approach. I link the emergence of BASE jumping in contemporary Western society to military history and the synthesis of two extreme sports, namely, bungee jumping and skydiving. I explore the practices, ethics, technologies, and mentoring styles specific to the practice, with the goal of demonstrating how BASE jumping integrates individuals into social groups. An analysis of the gender regime operating within the BASE community reveals tensions between engagement in the practice and issues of responsibility related to fatherhood, marriage, and other intimate relations. My findings further suggest BASE jumping provides a forum for learning, practicing, and perfecting valued skills within the localized field of the BASE community, in addition to other spheres of personal and professional life.
