It's different levels of stupidity. You know, before you jump out of
the airplane or slide down the rope, that hundreds or thousands of
people have done the same thing before you, and they've lived. This

airplane at night, or slide down a rope from a helicopter.

And, like other people have pointed out, no flex in the gear, small
wheels, less than zero crash tollerance. If you're looking for an
open frame, lightweight gyro, look at the Ken Brock, they've been
building them for 40 years and have the bugs as worked out as far as
they can be. http://www.kenbrockmfg.com/gyros.htm
