I saw this idea a few years back and forgot about it. Here's a video of it in action. This crazy sum bitch gets really close to the ground.

There was something on the Discovery channel years ago about the inventor testing that thing out. I think he managed to fly like ten miles from a height of only 15k feet. I then thought it would be one hell of a military asset. Imagine launching a team of Navy SEALs on a HALO jump at 30 thousand feet from international waters. They'd fly themselves 20 miles into theater with little heat signature and ridiculously small radar signatures.
Wouldn't be surprised if they're already doing it.
didn't the inventor die from a sky diving accident?
seriously? that sad but
he pretty much asked for it if it's the same guy we're talking about...iirc, he was the first person ever to jump out of a plane and re-enter it mid flight a few minutes later...crazy shit like that is bound to catch up with you
i dunno, i think drowning in a hot tub would suck no matter who else was in it.that's my plan.
fucking werdleast he went out doing what he loved to do
fucking werd
though i need to get into sky diving before i die of watching anime
