Yeah, this'll revolutionize the world, as if we didn't have enough Jerry Nadlers already.... The only plus I can see is for the infirm, and I wonder if this product is a good idea for old folks whose remaining muscles are on the shaky side; not to mention their reaction time. Ever see a person well past his prime attempting to drive a car? How is an old geezer (I hit 50 next year, so I'm not that far away) going to manuever this thing safely through city streets, as is shown here?

I wouldn't mind one. I just turned 52, I've got congestive heart failure, and just walking to our garden, a distance of a hundred yards or so, leaves me out of breath, and if the temperature is in the 70s or higher, drenched in sweat. A walk to our pond -- maybe a bit under a quarter mile -- is a major endeavor -- so major, that I haven't done it in quite some time.

For someone with a bad heart, who likes the outdoors, it would be fantastic. It could put the fun back into hunting and fishing.
