about as extreme as you can get, this guy is off the wall, so to speak, LOL, many WORLD RECORDs holder b.a.s.e. jumper Felix Baumgartner flew across the English Channel back in 2003 with a carbonfiber wing strapped to his back (also a chute and oxygen tanks). NO moving parts, an AWESOME RIDE in my book !!! http://www.felixbaumgartner.com/site/index.html

On the scale of 1 to 10 on the cool sh*tagraph, this takes a 12.
From a pilots perspective this would be the ultimate in toys.
Only some would say: "Why jump out of a perfectly good aeroplane?"
Fusionman, you're the bomb! (Literally).
