A quick question bout wingsuits.. If the aspect ratio of the wing was increased it would result in a lower stall speed and a shallower glide slope.. So why isn't this done.
My theory is the strength of the wing root [your shoulder] would not carry the increased weight.

not a deep question, i realise... I've just always wondered..
Cheers
