Wingsuit Flying is about pushing boundaries.  Some of the legendary feats include landing wingsuit jump without a parachute, courtesy of British jumper, Gary Connery.  Connery leaped out of a helicopter at 2,400 feet and glided towards a 350×45-foot-wide landing strip, made from 18,600 cardboard boxes stacked 12 feet high. Gary’s horrified wife remarked, “he is obviously totally bonkers.” During his descent, Connery still reached speeds of up to 80mph.  Notwithstanding, Connery altered his wingsuit configuration so by the time he landed in the boxes he was traveling 15 mph (24 km/h).

FICOR score is based on XDGE's proprietary scoring system

Minimum score to be considered for XDGE is 50, and the maximum is 100. This FICOR score is based on available data combined with XDGE's proprietary scoring system which weights several factors based on importance, including: insurance risk scores for the particular activity being evaluated, reaction time available as an adverse event unfolds, speed, height, depth, technical difficulty, ability to mitigate risk during activity, availability of backup equipment, involvment of other participants, location of activity, mental focus required, outcome resulting of most mishaps such as death or hospitalization, and a determination of the likelihood of having a major accident if that sport is done frequently.
