Who wouldn't like to experience soaring through the skies like Iron Man? Purincess Labs has created a device that may create a somewhat similar experience (okay, not quite... but similar, nonetheless):

"Wouldn't it be great if we could simulate the experience of hang-gliding on the ground? Yes. After hours and hours of TIG-welding and inhaling metallic fumes, Purincess Labs presents The Death Wheel 3000dx, an on-the-ground personal gliding device."
