this method of flight is being studied by a major airline as thier new economy class, thats way over the top! i think what ever material was allowcated to create his brain all went into assembling his "pelotas" im shure the military would be interested. my big question is-how could he have ever tested this thing before the big flight?

My thoughts exactly!!

Definitely cool but not quite 'Human Powered Flight' as the headline calls it.

Man, I can see some serious military applications for that....Special Forces troops HALO free flight & then steer their bodies for a hundred or so miles before firing up the jets on that thing....they could jump over friendly territory at about 20,000 feet & land 300-400 miles away by combining HALO free flight with the jet back pack!! Guy's got a fortune there if he presents it correctly!
