Focus turns to 'wingsuiting翼裝飛行服'/ stuntman Mark Sutton馬克薩頓遇難
翼裝飛行服可以讓穿著者在空中自由落體，並以高達226英里/小時（約360公里/小時）的速度飛行。
奧運詹姆士龐德跳傘選手馬克薩頓的遇難，讓人們注意到翼裝飛行這項日益普及的極限運動。翼裝飛行服是一項極限運動，要求人們以超過200英里/小時（約322公里/小時）的速度從山上跳下、穿越山谷，以及與懸崖平行飛行，幾乎沒有任何失誤的餘地。
42歲的薩頓先生與一位朋友一起，在瑞士靠近法國邊境的格蘭德斯奧塔內斯地區（Grandes Otanes）上空，穿著翼裝飛行服從11000英尺（約3400米）高的直升機上跳下，不幸身亡。據警方稱，薩頓當時的飛行速度約為125英里/小時（約200公里/小時），並撞上了山脊。薩頓傷勢嚴重，專家不得不透過DNA測試來確認他的遺體身分。
這位前軍官當時與大約20名翼裝飛行運動員一起在霞慕尼，這些運動員被認為是世界上頂尖的。一位警方發言人補充說：“這群人是受一家極限運動公司的邀請，該公司製作的電影在互聯網上播放。”
Wingsuits allow the wearer to both fall downwards and move across the sky at speeds up to 226mph
The death of Olympic James Bond parachutist Mark Sutton has focused attention on the growing popularity of wingsuiting, an extreme sport that sees people jumping off mountains, through valleys and flying parallel to cliffs at speeds of more than 200mph with little margin for error.
Mr Sutton, 42, died after leaping with a friend from a helicopter at 11,000ft while wearing a wingsuit above the Grandes Otanes area in Switzerland, close to the French border. He had been travelling at around 125mph when he hit a ridge, according to police who said his injuries were so severe that experts were forced to identify his body with a DNA test.
The former army officer was in Chamonix with around 20 wingsuit pilots, considered among the best in the world. A police spokesman added: “The group had been invited by an extreme sports company which makes films that are broadcast on the internet.”

Formal identification is under way and an investigation has been opened. Mr Sutton had reportedly travelled to Chamonix earlier this week with his partner Victoria Homewood, 39. Repatriation of his body is expected to take a few days.
A video in tribute to Mr Sutton has been posted on YouTube showing footage from some wingsuit jumps he has made in Norway, Italy and Switzerland.
Mr Sutton stood in for Daniel Craig during Danny Boyle’s opening ceremony for the 2012 games. Gary Connery, who played the Queen, said he had lost a close friend who was “smart, articulate and funny”.
“In any sport where you share a common bond you can make friends in a heartbeat that last a lifetime,” he added. “My relationship with Mark was like that.”
He tweeted today: “All you jumpers/flyers out there, stay safe, make wise choices and know your limits and your locations, live to tell your stories, one love.”
Mr Boyle also paid tribute, saying the sad news of his death marked “a huge loss to his profession”.
Stuntman Steve Truglia told the BBC today that wingsuit flying is a “thrilling activity” that turns someone into “a flying fox”, but a much more dangerous activity than traditional skydiving.
