Honestly regardless of what i have said above, the fact that someone with little money (no im not saying he has) can get into the air and enjoy the freedom of flight, by strapping a motor and a parachute to his back and just go fly, is amazing and should be lauded from the hilltops.  

I don't know about the little money part. That rig is about $10,000 and it looks like he has a nice car.

Not to resurrect a dead horse here, but if you're interested, this is a good program about some long distance hang gliding across Texas. My friend Jonny Durand (current world #1) and Dustin Martin flew 475 miles across Texas. Most of it between 4000 and 12,000 ft. (My personal best is just short of 30 miles and 10,000 ft. ;-)

The first 10 minutes of the clip are probably the best.
