From a perfectly good plane.

BirdMan, Inc. sells special skydiving suits with flaps under the arms for gliding. From their About Us page:
Anyone who’s logged 200 jumps can buy one of these getups for $618 and experience an entirely new kind of skydiving. According to Kuosma, wingsuiters can slow the downward speed of a free fall from 120 mph to 37 mph and fly horizontally through the clouds. This nearly triples their time in the air before pulling the rip cord. About 2,000 people have experienced the wingsuit since the company was founded in 1999. Only four have died.
Those odds may not have been good enough for this man (still alive), who saw fit to jump out of a hot air balloon wearing a wing suit and rocket boots.
