I told the guy who sent it to me that it's people like that who keep my husband in business. And that there was no way I was showing that to my kids. They'd want one!

Holy cow! That is soooo cool. It looks like awesome fun.
If I wasn't 49, didn't have kids, lived in Norway, and was completely insane (as opposed to?) I might try it.
First thing I though of was Rocky, Bullwinkle's buddy.

Your husband is a mortician? Or psychiatrist?

If I didn't have anyone in my life who would make me majorly wrong for doing it, I'd do it.
In a heart beat.

I was thinking Rocket J. Squirrel, also!
My husband is a physiatrist, not to be confused with psychiatrist. If you ignore your psychiatrist and act on those crazy impulses to fly off mountains, then he helps you relearn how to walk and feed yourself without a tube again....

I have to send this clip to Adventure Boy.
I'd rather AB never had one of these, but he'll see them eventually, and if he gets one, I'd rather make sure he feels obliged to tell me about it.
On the other hand, I would love to have one. I've always wanted to lift my arms and fly, and this is as close to the real thing as I've seen so far.

It's a nice idea, but I could never do it.

Curses! Firewalled again.
Did anyone see Mythbusters last night? The featured a flying chamber that looked really cool.

Count me out, too - I have acrophobia as it is, and I can't imagine jumping off into thin air with nothing more than that ridiculous-looking suit.

Ah, that's nothing. I've been doing that for years and I don't need no stinking parachute.
Bunch of copy cats. Or is that copy squirrels?

These guys blink wrong I don't think there is much your husband could do for them, except literally mop up.

Yeah, but we think the whole thing could be some CG stuff.
Which didn't stop my son from wanting one, or wanting to invent one if it wasn't really real.

Emma saw it and wants to do it. I figured that she would.

Has Emma ever done the gliding thing at Six Flags Magic Mountain?

This is SO up Number One Son's alley!
Of course, I'd be right there sailing with him. He got the crazy gene from me.
