My take: ‘Love it! But another reason why LIFE insurance will never be one size fits all’
Just amazing!
I wonder if those suits generate so much lift when needed that you could actually land without a parachute and survive? I’m guessing a water landing would be quite possible. I’d prefer that over the fear of a chute not opening.
grey_whiskers, I'm a long time lurker, haven't posted here in years, but just wanted to give you a thumbs-up on the Iona reference. One of my favorite bands, caught them on their last US tour back in 2014 (?)...
Yup. My exact thought too.
Unbelieveable.
Two other bands you might want to check out, btw.
1) Hammock (ambient music)
2) Neal Morse (heavy prog, not as Celtic).
Freegards!

In my early 20’s a friends boss gave him a used hang glider.
It was all innocent fun until I got it to work.
I have had to stop at the metal detector ever since...
The first time I saw that video I believed it was fake and it probably is.

I know what you mean about "trying on a “ flying suit.”
I'd look like a B17 with an oversized ball turret!
I’d spiral in like an oak leaf....
I got off easy. In fact we had a pretty good safety record. Unfortunately one guy fell off and broke both arms. His dad traded me an Arisaka rifle he had from WWII for the contraption. He then destroyed it.
