OK, I want one for Christmas. (Looks like they do need a small parachute to land, though).

That's not real, is it? Because this is what I want to do for a living. I can fly, I can fly, I can fly. No couches in this film? Me do it!!!

Never ever ever? How does one get snacks? How does one go potty?

No, baby, you are missing the point. You don't stop.

Nah. They have a small parachute on the back. At the end of the video you can see the parachute come out. So yeah, you still need a parachute to land. But wow, how cool. And I've been up on that mountain (I believe it's in Switzerland) -- it is the most perfect place to fly.

I hope they make it into a business. I would SO love to go there again and glide down like a flying squirrel. One of the best memories I had was whitewater rafting in Austria. The Alps were simply stunning.

Snacks? Someone sticks out their hand and gives you a sandwich as you zoom by. You can either grab it, or just open your mouth. Potty, that's taken care of in the first 5 seconds, that's why the legs of those suits they're wearing appear to stre-e-e-etch so much.
