This is cool...and a recipe for disaster. I would create fucken mayhem.
Still, good on the Dutch: I'd never really associated Netherlanders with innovation, except when it came to whoring, hash, economic bubbles, CDs, apartheid and racist Christmas caricatures.

Yep, it is a little impractical, isn't it? Try to take off in that thing when in a traffic jam (hint: it is NOT a helicopter).
