  • You'll believe a man can fly ...

    Quite old but this still scares me silly

    Colin no shit. I seriously would love to watch these guys live because to me it just looks impossible to gain that sort of horizontal speed without propulsion. I've seen these suits on Top Gear where the guy lands in Hammonds car but this looks insane.

      You need to be crazy to fly so close to rocks/roads etc. doing that - I wonder what the rate of decent is compared to forward distance travelled.

        Rob, that is what I was wondering. They seem to have a fair bit of travel in the XZ plane compared to their descent (Y).
