    Leave it to the media to say the parachute failed even when there was no parachute!

    Moreover, as I recall from an earlier discussion of this point, it's not a base jump if there's no parachute, so i think we need to say that this could indeed be the first attempt to land a wingsuit without a parachute.

    Hopefully, Jeb will think his plan through a little more thoroughly...
