I agree, once they leave the ramp it's all over...the main question 
is whether whatever they're riding will hold together long enough to 
hit the water, or whether it will disintegrate on the way down.  Fun, 
sorta; maybe better with lots of beer.  I don't recall seeing 
anything that could glide, much less flug.  Watch for the three-foot 
radio-controlled model helicopter with the video camera hovering near 
the takeoff point, though... neat geek toy.
