BEFORE YOU BASE, SKYDIVE. 

BEFORE YOU GET TOO CRAZY WITH YOUR GÜS, TRAIN!

Please take your responsible progression seriously: Train in your wingsuit extensively before you 

attempt any advanced maneuvers. Please skydive your wingsuit extensively before you BASE jump it. 

The GÜS is designed for beginner pilots. You may complete your very first jumps on this suit, or you 

may choose to do a few jumps in a Sprint or similar student suit beforehand. The GÜS is approved 

for First Flight Courses and student wingsuiters.  

Respect the limits of your abilities and progress slowly. Seek coaching and qualified instruction, and 

always maintain awareness of your surroundings. It is your responsibility to avoid collisions with other 

wingsuit pilots, parachutes, all air-traffic, and the planet Earth. Skydiving and BASE jumping are 

extremely dangerous, and complacency kills.
