Now that looks like it would be more fun than an "E" ticket ride at Disneyland.

Re: I want one of these -- who else?

As a former Airborne School Instructor and Jump Master, this is probably a long way away from reaching the SF community. Sure you can fly in from a greater distance than HAHO, but I'll bet your ruck will play havoc with the aerodynamics while in flight. And considering they are finally changing out the old T-10 series static line chute for something more modern, this will take awhile if ever to become standard cool guy gear.
