They seem to have a lot of velocity forward, almost like they are flying. I cant understand how they seem to gain so much momentum forward without anything to propel them while they are falling/flying.
In my head they should just fall straight down but slower than they would without the wingsuits. Bc even if you jump forward off a cliff no way you gain that much momentum. And they don’t fall so slowly that even a little bit of forward velocity is enough to get as far as they do.

Taken from the air it looks like they are moving forwards quite fast but the ground they are flying over is steeper than it looks. Watch some of the videos taken from the ground as wingsuit flyers pass by. They are still falling extremely fast.
