There was a guy at Empuriabrava running around in one. Buzzing trees and entertaining us all :-)

Looks great fun, but I would imagine a few lessons would be in order first.

With regards the video - how the hell does he get the rotation going for the first summersault???

By generating a lot of energy and speed by first going into a spin. The somersaults are all forwards if you watch closely, in order to keep the wing inflated.
