Saw him speak at TEDX Portland last year- He had to speak remotely as he had just had an accident in Africa doing some stunts for a TV special-
Here's the talk - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1WJANjY5-w&list=PL4FF40284DAE0E1C3&index=16
He does show his injuries as well as footage of the accident, but listening to him really lets you get in the head of people who do such dangerous stuff for a living, and for the rush-
Semantically speaking he is gliding. Wikipedia indicates that wingsuits have a glide ratio of about 2.5.
