3. I had no idea there even WERE such suits...
That is amazing.

And yeah, methinks a trip to the cleaners would be in order afterward for mine as well.

8. The British Army has a parachuting regimen call the Red Devils that uses those suits.
Another fact learned from Top Gear.

11. I have always wanted to run and jump off a cliff, then soar like an eagle.

That looks the closest to it that I have seen yet. I wonder if you can take headphones or some type of music with you. There are at least 3 songs, all by Deborah Harry (solo), that I know of that I'd like to listen to while doing that.

"Sweet & Low"

"I Can See Clearly"

"End of The Run"
