Does anyone know how to get one of these legally? They only sell to military organizations. It seems like it would be ideal for many civilian purposes.

There's a gas-powered civil version. 3000 ft on 1L of fuel (unlike the electrical version which does 900ft on a charge)

I think that there is really no reason for quietness in a civilian version, that's why they're all gas-powered.

I would be awesome to hook one up to an A and make an A-boogie, it can lift 2 people at a time!

edit: Oh, and for the really sneaky people, the battery powered version with remote control http://www.actsafe.se/.../acc-power-ascender/

One of those could REALLY come in handy!!
I'm too lazy to climb anymore
