The seating needs to change but wow! I thought it was a hoax at first but it looks like it is legit.176mph and up to 10,000 feet altitude....I want it!!!! My life expectancy would drop to minutes or less...but I really ,really want it!!!

Yeah I'm with you on the emotional pull of such a contraption, it would be pretty awesome. But getting dragged back down to earth by the practicalities of it, such a thing has a lot of drawbacks. I think you would be better off in a small chopper for a similar thrill...and a lot more control over your fate.

What?
This thread should have been about some bizarre over-the-top sexual encounter.

From what I've read it is pretty much a two rotor helicopter with a different seating arrangement if it works as intended it won't be alot more dangerous than the small personal helicopters.

Except if the engine dies, I don't think that will auto-rotate.

Yep, no auto-rotate and I'm really not seeing any kind of inherent control or stability in the thing. You would want to have a parachute on your back at all times.

parachute isn't going to do crap if that thing dies at 100 feet in the air.

That certainly isn't the attitude to take. American know-how WILL figure it out.
