"Wingboarding isn’t quite to the manned prototype phase yet, but Wyp did a successful demo flight last month using a plastic 31-inch-tall fully articulated rider. The 3D-printed model, known as James, was towed by a tiny Bill Hempel Decathlon plane. He has his own working parachute and even did several barrel rolls."
Sounds like they are using a crash test dummy in this thing. Sorry - not for me. They need a dummy rated for falling off of an airplane at 1000 ft. My head plastic is too soft for that. I usually am only used in 5 MPH bumper tests. I am however, fully articulate.
