Is that an artificial patagium or are you just happy to see me? |

This is making me think. Could you theoretically jump out of a plane without a parachute, but a wing suit and skis and successfully land on a downhill slope? If you are well endowed of course. |

Sure, it's possible, but the margin of error is pretty narrow for making up for unexpected turbulent wind or slight imperfections in how the person exits the aircraft. In a normal ski jump, even though they can move more than 250m through the air, they're never more than 6m above the ground at any given point. So jumping out of an airplane would require a level of precision that probably couldn't be safely achieved. |

Submit this question to RedBull. If it can be done, they'll figure out how to do it and film it. |

Unlikely but possible is what I'm hearing. |
