It would have been even better if he had a Super Hero™ red cape around his neck. He so looks the type that would have tied a bath towel around his neck and leapt from the top bunk of his bunkbed, when he was a kid.

Did anyone read the viewer comments for that story? I know I shouldn't laugh - at the sophmoric exchange between hahaha2233 and ErnestHerb, but I can't help it. "Course there's a video of it..." :roflmao2:

This is the same Dirk Aeur who strapped a jet pack to his back for a drag race with an Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster on Top Gear a few years back. This is a link to the video of the segment. Dirk is introduced around 3:30 in the 5 minute clip.

Holy crap that looks incredibly awesome and unsafe all at the same time. We have had enough broken coasters go off into the ocean in Jersey, I can not imagine what kind of trouble this thing will cause.
