There is going to be a brutal accident in this one of these days, it scares the crap out of me.... because when it happens, there isn't gonna be much left.... so so so insane..... and insanely epic, but it scares the bejesus out of me, the margin for error is non existent!

It does happen. This guy recently died when he didn't make the route he had planned. This is not the video, but it shows the place where he had his accident.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yV88pEouZzo

If you watch the video, you can see the big cutout to the right. He tried to fly through that instead of going around to the left, but didn't make it. He had a masters degree and did research with wingsuits in school. So things can still go wrong even if you calculate it and take many precautions. But it is what anyone risks when they take part in an extreme sport they love.
