Ski jump distance enhancement

Since you saw the video, I'm sure it's possible (unless you were duped), but I doubt very much that it wouldn't violate olympic rules.

i dont think so b'caz the rate at which they are falling is different from that of the skie jumperz.but it might help out at timez

Since any athletic competition tests the physical limit of man and equipment, I'm certain aerodynamic webbing would move these limits down the jump slope. I'll grant you that it will likely not be a dramatic change in distance, but a change that could affect standings. But if I had a webbed jump suit and any of the qualified Olympic ski jumpers in Vancouver didn't in a jump off between me and them, I would certainly lose to any of them badly. I suspect that the Olympic rules stipulate what must be worn in these jumps to prevent an unfair advantage.

The Jumpers are almost outjumping the Hill now. (2010 Olympic's) The Jumps are designed so the jumper lands on the slope of the hill not the flat area at the bottom. Landing further down the hill where its a little flatter would and has broken legs and Injured backs in the past. The suit would get anybody using them on a Ski Jump Injured or Killed.

The officials actually monitor the jump suits and the equipment very closely to prevent the use of padding or the like that would advantage a jumper. So forget about webs...

As far as the jump distance is concerned, the starting height is adjusted regularly to prevent the jumper to go too far. It is done by sending a few "test" jumpers that didn't make it to the competition to see how far they go. This minimizes the chances of injury if such a thing is possible.

The objective is not to jump the fartest ever but to jump farther and better than the others in the competition.

They have to wear thin foam suits with controlled air infiltration and have a limit on looseness .

"Very important part of the ski jumper's equipment is a suit, which helps to get a better aerodynamics during a flight. It is made of a special 5 mm thick foam (the thickness is restricted by FIS regulations). It may be additionally covered by a thin layer of a metallic material. A jumper who has got a looser suit is able to fly further, because there is a greater resistance and thanks to it, the suit fills up with air, just like a sail. The transmission of air equals 40 lit. per 1 cm2. It is, of course, restricted by FIS regulations. The dimensions of the suit are restricted as well. They may exceed competitor's real dimensions only by 10%. To check, whether suits used by competitors meet the FIS regulations, 6 points, in which the suit's dimensions are being controlled, have been fixed." From www.skijumpingpoland.com
