Does anyone know the name of the device that people fly in the sky with?

    I have seen it often in movies, but not in real life personally though it seems practical.

    This device has a "wings" at it's side, people grab onto a bar underneath them and fly through the air.

    I saw that ad. The one where she ate hilarious salad, right? After the really fun salad she complained about her husband not being able to do two things at once and showed how even though she was sick she could assemble a flat pack piece of furniture and explain the off-side rule while doing it? . Then she dressed up all slutty but it turns out she is actually the president of the universe and a successful business women? Then she didn't give into peer pressure to conform and be all healthy and fit and instead chose to be a ticking time bomb of diabetes and heart disease but it's ok because she is comfortable in her own skin.

    Classic advert.

    I think he's trying to write up an insurance claim, but due to the trauma of the flying object landing on his head, he can't quite remember what it was.

    Doctors also call it a form of "Organ Donor Preparation Apparatus" - like a motorbike with wings and no engine. :eek:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    "People" is in the thread title, not "Person". How can people fly an aeroplane.

    Besides I would know an aeroplane if I saw one!

    Hang gliding seems to be a lot less popular since the advent of low cost airlines ...
