He certainly did. Looks like the distance limit is governed by the length of the hill! He was running parallel to the slope all the way down.

Did he achieve some lift/limited flight there?

Well on the other hand you want to have some surface area to get more lift, so... =)

OK, I doubt opening your mouth actually provides enough area to do anything. But they used to have much looser and bigger suits before that were generating a certain wingsuit effect already, and fairly recently they ruled that the suits must be a lot more form fitting, so once again it's more up to the skill of the jumper instead of the level of equipment.

Very impressive. I wonder if closing his mouth to reduce drag would have made much / any difference to the jump?
