Makes me think of Eddie the Eagle

There was something about that '88 Calgary Olympics.  The Saddledome, Jamaican bobsled, Eddie the Eagle, the Soviets last time, etc. etc. it was just a neat place and a neat time.

Responding to the OP.  First of all, what will they think of next???  I know they are claiming increased surface area, but could it also be used as a rudder as on an aircraft?😉

You'd think ski jumping is hazardous enough without having this procedure?🤔

Agreed Arthur.  If you did a belly flop you'd be stuck in the snow and ice until the spring thaw.:unsure:
