Wings?

[dmentia]

Okay, stupid question time- and yes, I know there are no stupid questions, but this one might be close! What are "wings" that have been mentioned in a couple of threads? I read the threads, and there is lots of discussion, but no description. Am I missing something obvious? They are called other things that I might know instead?
Thanks!

Hey dmentia,

Wings are the things that keep you floating (i.e. off of the floor). Basically, it's what your power inflator is blowing up on your back. When people refer to wings, they are usually refering to a setup whereby the backbladder, or wings, are attached to a backplate and harness. Check some out at:
