I don't know about riding it head first with no helmet...

how about a landspeed record barstool?

We built an electric barstool to race at World of Speed at Bonneville. We broke the exisiting record of 49.972mph with an average speed over 2 runs of 53.557mph. Similar drivetrain as the drafting stool mentioned earlier but in a CNC frame with custom everything. Rules, video and...

electric only? Sure gas could get too fast to be safe for this type of thing, just put in a displacement limit or something. Besides, dumping one of these at speed can't be much worse than a motorcycle.

If I had one of those suits I'd probably just find myself broken at the bottom of the 1st flight of stairs in the vicinity.

wasn't there a guy in france with a suit covered in rollerblade wheels who would zoom down mountain roads on it? I seem to remember seeing a video on it and got some damn good speed up doing it.

He also wore out the wheels every couple of runs

Yeah I'd be game for the wheel'd suit. That would be a crazy fun ride. I remember getting stopped by a cop when I was a kid when I hit about 29mph tucked in tight on a skateboard, in base housing. I was scared, really scared. I kept thinking just keep it strait no turns and please lord no pebbles.....that would have sucked.
