Well, damn. This both scary and cool...

Hoversurf drone/bike - apparently under testing for Dubai police right now, as well as available in the States if you have enough money and pull...

How much damage would those rotors do? Seems like a lot.

And how loud is it?

They say it goes as "high as you want and as fast as you want," but they never show it achieving more than jogging speed horizontally. Seems like they would have showcased whatever speed of which it's capable.
