Mr Browning said it is easily capable of flying at 200mph (321km/h) and an altitude of a few thousand feet.
But, for safety reasons, he keeps the altitude and speed low. He insisted it is "safer than a motorbike". The cognitive dissonance is real. |

Maybe he means the flying suit is safer at low speed than a motorbike at high speed.

Well, the most dangerous part of riding a motorcycle is inattentive morons in cars, so the lack of traffic a few thousand feet up would certainly help.

Video still looks fake. Why are his arms flailing about but his body swinging about smoothly if he is supporting his body on his arms/hands?
