Actually, this thread started up a year ago, but it's funny how these BOB things pop up on SB every once in a while. Has anyone here actually taken a ride on these things. What happens (or can you) if you do a barrel roll in one?

How do you handle an out of air emergency in one of these things? And what's the continency plan - other then just sitting around waiting for your air to run out - if the thing malfunctions, or if the motor or battery dies?

IMHO they sound like potential death traps for the inexperienced.
