Not sure I'd opt for a flight in it. I'd be too worried about falling out of the bottom!

Dunno how you'd fall out since it's strapped to you like a backpack.
Neat idea, take the idea of a hang glider and apply it to a light glider/sailplane. Looks pretty ingenious.

I figured that it's worn like a backpack.
Just the mind games knowing a bloody great trap doors beneath you.

My bigger fear is what happens when you hit a bump or rock on landing with your rump that close to the ground.

As more of them come down, I guess butt insurance will go up..?

I anticipate some chaffing around the nads.

Must be easy to drop a wing and damage it.

Put a superlight engine on it and what a great little commuter that would make

A curry from the local Indian would probably suffice
