Seems like some covers for those fans would be a good idea.

Too many moving parts on that thing for my liking and when one stops working gravity will be calling. Looks like fun but comes at a high price when things go bad.

That little fist pump he did reminded me of Langston at Houston in ‘01.

Looks like that fist pump was the cause of him losing control.

Dumb enough to think it'd be a good idea to take your hand off in the air...

Seems to me something like that should have an automated stability system and until that is functioning, tested, and reliability demonstrated no one should get on it. Also the control system needs far better feedback, after the back was smashed its obvious the front thrust caused the imbalance and flipped the bike, this should be 100% avoidable with proper thrust vectoring, feedback, and limits. Overall pretty cool, just seems rushed to a maned flight when all this could be done with manikins and robots.

However, mad props to the pilot, he sent it far higher than expected

Oh, and why the hell are they doing this over pavement? Brave.

So....if you have to take your hand off to itch your nose or maybe wipe a dead bug splatter off your visor you're going down? Awesome.
