The angle of attack is just the angle at which the aerofoil (wing) is positioned in relation to the air that hits it. What is the issue here, is that the aerofoil cannot generate enough lift to overcome the weight of the body. Hence even at maximum lift, you are still falling 1m for every 3m you are traveling forwards. I'm no mathematician, but hypothetically say you are traveling at 210km/hr, you would hit the ground with a vertical speed of nearly 70km/hr. That's a pretty quick speed to hit the ground.

I would love to see if this dream ever becomes reality....

I was having a flip through some of the wing suit vids on YouTube...crazy stuff!
