Oh and a pot hole on the road might be just the ticket to get reconstructive facial surgery, not to mention your body being suspended from slings on the bike might make good training when you break all your bones and need to spend months in the hospital suspended from the ceiling... a better idea if you ask me is here: http://www.yankodesign.com/2008/08/18/a-futuristic-ferrari-speed-is-a-given-but-automated/ You knees scrapping against 500 yards of asphalt as you come to a halt from a tire blowout is your definition of safe?????

When we drive on the highway, after a certain speed, aerodynamics are the limiting factor for gas mileage at high speeds. What if a car had the person laying down instead of sitting? This seems to address it. This is beyond amazing. I’ve been thinking about a similar issue that this addresses.

Personally, I like my limbs exactly where they are - attached to the rest of my body. :) On the other hand, this could actually work - but it needs a proper cage and lots of safety features. Also needs a trail to follow for when you are in the carnage mood. It would be nice to see an actual person sitting in it.

I think it would even get owned in Tron. During the video I thought it was a new vehicle for Tron. I think it would even get owned in Tron.
