Geez Louise! I hope he has some sort of HANS device, like the NASCAR drivers use, to prevent a broken neck!
-
Haha, yeah that guy has been working on that forever. I wonder when he'll actually get to the bear phase. :)

He's actually gotten past that phase and it seems that he's now designing it with military purposes in mind. It looks very much like the MJOLNIR armour from Halo. He actually named it "Trojan" armour and said that he was inspired by Halo.
Admitting to something like that instantly forfeits you credibility in my eyes, lol.
He was demonstrating how it all worked. The helmet is smaller now, and it even has a built in air-conditioner for hot climates. The suit also has various other features, like a built-in watch at your groin and a pepper spray launcher in your arm for warding off crowds. He said, pertaining to the pepper spray, that it was much stronger than regular pepper spray and even the spray used to ward off bears.
The project may be a little crazy, but I admire the guy for his ingenuity and honesty.

Yeah I watched that other video also! Some really great stuff!
Isn’t funny how Science Fiction has a way of compelling humanity into the reality of the future?
Now where the hell is my flying car I was promised we’d all be flying/driving by the year 2000? ;)

Flying cars? Well, we might have driving planes soon:

Very ambitious. I hope they succeed!
