Looks like it might be a little rugged for 2 up trips.

Hi Duck....

""Are there any Starbucks at that altitude?"".... I guess only as they pass before your eyes as you plummet at terminal velocity !!

So where is the video of him taking off when they cut the tethers? I don't think the helmet will help much in a crash on that thing. If he doesn't put more screening on the fans he will look like a piece of sliced balogne if he slides off.

But besides that where can I get one?
