That looks like a ton of fun. :dance: I wonder why it never "took off"? It would be way better than parasailing. :thumbup:

I think when the first blade came off it probably damped the enthusiasm. Or perhaps when a noob stalled it and it went in nose first launching the pilot into the blade. Or maybe they seat belted in and had trouble exiting when upside down? What could actually go wrong? :crazy:

I saw a guy buzzing around the back bays behind Wildwood, NJ about ten years ago in one of those. It looked like a ton of fun.
