Going Up?
I can think of a few sites where this would be a cool thing to have in your bag-o-tricks . . .
Or, as a way to rescue an injured or stranded jumper . . .

Pretty pricey. I hope that some competition drives the prices down, because I can't see very many jumpers shelling out 10 grand for it.

Re: [TomAiello] Going Up?
I got so excited about it I didn't look at the price, LOL.
It was like that time I almost bought a Porsche.
On the other hand, if you look at it like a poor man's helicopter . . . maybe some of the larger BASE associations in Euro land could afford one.
And you could surely bust the record for jumps at Bridge Day with one; you'd just have to come up with the new ridiculous rappeller fee . . .

One charge = 600 feet.... be cool if you can carry an external battery pack - didn't read all the details, it may be that you can.
