So get launched by a catapult from the top of a bridge almost 900ft high and then parachute the rest of the way down....  rubschin:

noooo:

Amongst other things, USA bridges aren't always in the bestest condition

Wasn't so much thinking about using American bridges but as a proof of concept it does have potential...  Thumbs:
I'm thinking use it on some of our enemies, just no parachute

I'm not sure I'd call it amazing but I do wonder what it would be like to go head first down a luge track in that suit...  rubschin:

I'd be willing to find out.  :thumbsup:

I'm waiting for the day some bright engineer comes up with a similar system you can attach to office blocks as an emergency escape, the only downside I can see would be hordes of thrill seeking office workers constantly setting off the fire alarm  lol:
