This is the most amazing thing I've seen in my life...humans CAN fly

Yes...this is real

*adds to 'stuff to do before I die' list*

Wow. I think that will be the last thing I'll do in my life if I put that on my list.

Sick

BTW you should have said they're gliding, not flying. I was under the impression that someone made 150 foot long wings with feathers.

Wow, that's nuts.

The only crappy part, though, is that you have to use a parachute to land. That kinda detracts from the whole "I'm a bird!" sensation.

interestingly enough i read an article or two awhile back about a race to see who can come up with a way to allow for landing without a parachute. they are working on it.

Well I'll sign up as soon as they perfect that part of it. ;)

Thats really intense.

I would give it a go....

That's cool, I want to try that. But not in between cliffs.Devouring_One

aww you sissy, won't take part in the testing phase? :) yea, i wouldn't either.

heres an article if your interested. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/10/sports/othersports/10flying.html

Well, ****, if a suit was all I needed to fly, then what am I still doing here? I'll jump out of a plane with this on, how awesome would that be?

Also, at first I was thinking "how the **** do they land?" Then...I saw the parachute...I was a bit dissapointed, I thought they found some way to be ale to glide like that, but still land as if they weren't even going that fast.

I say either put some wheels on your stomach or put a 'trigger' somewhere on the suit that would make extra fabric go out with the wings, allowing them to slow you down enough to land :P

If I ever get a terminal disease this is one of the things I'm putting on my list :DFlaminDeath

That seems pretty illogical seeing as that a terminal disease is gonna make that very hard to do....

You trying to prove how badass you are or something?!

Wow, that's nuts.
