If you keep an eye out for motorcycles you can wear, you may have seen this one zipping face down across the pavement of the internet.
I know it’s not as practical (less dangerous?) as the two wheel versions we see everyday weaving in and out of traffic, but if you want to go from 0-60 in 3 seconds laying prostrate 10 inches off the ground, this three-wheeled electric motorcycle and video are just for you.
Jake Loniak from the Art Centre Pasadena is the the inventor/designer of the Deus Ex Machina. The vehicular exoskeloton uses 36 pneumatic muscles connected to seven artificial vertebrae and an integrated helmet, powered by ultra-capacitors and nano-phoshpate batteries.
Sure, your head will stay with the bike in an accident, but man will you look slick that 5 seconds beforehand. Watch out for that bunny.

Nice it uses your own head as an crashbuffer
Yea… looks cool… but I have to say… I am not getting in!!!!
I think I'd be more inclined if there was a very thick impenetrable skin
between me and the road.
I so totally would try this out. as long as no one was on the road when I was driving this I would be just fine.haha.
How exactly does it steer and turn? Why isn't that shown?
“Nice it uses your own head as a crashbuffer

And if another vehcile crashes into it, then what?

haha. yeah I can totally seeing this tipping over on turns. what this needs to turn into is a flight enabled combat suit. rudders, flaps, some gun turrets. perfect.
Combine this with the Martin Jetpak from your August 6th post and you'd really have something. Include some flame throwers and a 50 cal and you could take out all the evil flying monkeys the wicked witch has to throw at you.
a boy can dream, can't he? rather, a boy can design it in SolidWorks.
