Pretty cool! I'm not sure just how useful this would be beyond special forces but this could certainly be interesting.

I saw a video awhile back of a guy using something like this and a small rocket to propel himself all the way across the English Channel.

Well, they could always deploy air bags and bounce like the Mars Rovers!

Flying Dude Not as much BS as you might think. This guy isn't carrying any gear, but the wing parts are pretty small too.
I think the folks working on this are going to have a lot of fun trying it out.

Do you get jump wings or a glider badge? (I’d give ‘em both)

The same guy just tried to cross the Mediterranean but came up short due to bad weather. His next flight is going to be over the Grand Canyon.
