Adult Flying Hoppity Hop

Hoppity Hop is a toy that is a sit-on-able rubber ball with a handle in top, so that you can bounce around a floor holding on to the handle to secure the toy between your legs and coordinating stabilizing and accelerating motions between the ball and your feet which would also grip the ball but push off of the floor when you bounce, adding height to your bounce and direction to your motion.

So this is that, but wing enabled.

The rubber ball could be strapped around the upper thighs to secure the ball to the body, and the arms could be free, with attached foam wings, or by steering a hang glider-like foil, to help you gain height on each bounce and to steer motion in the air.

So this is somewhere in between assisted bouncing and weak, cushioned hang gliding.

...with pants, in a vertical wind tunnel.

       All momentum taken for flight doesn't go into a bounce.

       Assuming that this might actually fly, I can see a landing on 1 spacehopper might be excessively exciting.

       Would the rubber ball be under or over the pants? Do you have pants that can accommodate it? If so I would like several pairs of those pants now.

       Is this related to that sex in a simulated skydiving environment idea?

       Normzone are you proposing one might have sex on a Hoppity Hop?

       Well, not to you, but if the proper lass asked me politely enough we could conduct the experiment and report on it here.

       I could see a market in some adult stores...

       The advanced version of this includes the linked Self jumping ball robot capability, as well as the neon thingy,
