Innovation is not limited to creating new products or services, it can be activity too. Of course there is no end of innovations to support the new activity, for example, the new activity of jumping out of an airplane, flying around like a squirrel, and then getting back in the airplane, at 5000 feet. Sounds dangerous?
The fellow in this video, and others, their fates:
But not to worry. It is possible to land without a parachute.
As I mentioned, the activity is innovative, and the money part is supplying the activity. For example, this might be useful to the participants.

It said the organisation would "conduct a thorough review of the events that lead into this accident and adopt any appropriate changes".Yep. It is called wingsuit diving. You've never heard of it, but of the few who play it, 20 a year die? The mind boggles. In this case the fellow expected to eventually parachute to the ground, but sadly his shoot did not deploy. He should have gotten back in the plane.
The sport is highly dangerous, with about 20 people dying annually around the world while jumping.

On 31 October 1997, French skydiver Patrick de Gayardon showed reporters a wingsuit with allegedly unparalleled safety and performance.[21][22] De Gayardon died on 13 April 1998, while testing a new modification to his parachute container in Hawaii; his death is attributed to a rigging error that was part of the new modification, rather than a flaw in the suit's design.[23]On 5 October 2003, Dwain Weston, an Australian skydiver and holder of the 2002 BASE-jumping world title, died after hitting a railing while attempting to fly over the Royal Gorge Bridge near Cañon City, Colorado.[24][25][26]On 14 August 2013, Mark Sutton, a British stuntman who had earned fame by parachuting into the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremonyas a James Bond character, was killed when he hit a ridge while wing-diving near Martigny, Switzerland.[27] He was participating in an event sponsored by Epic TV, and a wingsuit expert stated that he appeared to have miscalculated the gradient of the ground he was flying over, meaning he hit the ridge as the land flattened out.[28]On 23 August 2013 Álvaro Bultó, one of the best Spanish wingsuiters, died because of a failed wingsuit BASE jump in Switzerland, the days before he and his team mates did some other difficult and more technical jumps, this one was the first one that day but because of an unlucky movement he hit the cliff and he didn't start the horizontal flight and he also didn't open the parachute.
