Even more interesting to see someone fall off one! :)

Doubt they'll ever really make one of this design, but if they do, my advice would be to stay away from any races in case they have an accident. It will never get off the ground [groan] financially because of the costs inherent with a design like that. [HOW MUCH to insure? What do you mean, do I have a PILOT's licence? It's a BIKE, dang it!]

The American military stopped development in the 70's on things like this because they were too dangerous, that ought to say something.

Can't believe they don't have a ring guard around those props. Laugh
