The espresso machine is broken. You can see why I'm upset!
Seriously though, there is a long (and sad) tradition of flying machine inventors (or engineers) getting killed by their own inventions. Looking at this particular one it has all the flashy features ('Look! I am the Iron Man!') and none of the safety ones.
Paraglider here. Having met many hundreds of flying contraption enthusiasts, I'd say as a population we're much less bothered about maiming and killing ourselves than average.

Burt Munro: No... You live more in five minutes on a bike like this going flat out than some people live in a lifetime.
