Leal was wearing a wingsuit, which features webbing between the arms and legs that allows skydivers to more or less fly through the air. David “T.K.” Hayes, president and general manager of the skydiving company that Leal was using, told the Times that wingsuits are reserved only for experienced divers with more than 200 jumps under their belts. Plus, Leal was taking part in a coordinated dive with four others, with all of them exiting the plane as close as they can.

“It’s like flying fighter jets wing tip to wing tip,” Hayes told the Times.
