Personal Copter, Lifespan-Chopper

Feel like you've lived a wee bit too long? Looking for a spectacular way out -- one that'll keep your family crying in disgust for years on end?

Well, has Popular Mechanics got a gizmo for you: the personal helicopter. This $30,000, assemble-yourself "Gen H-4" mini-chopper relies on "two blades on the same axis and rotating them in opposite directions to counteract each other's torque, eliminating the need for a tail rotor."

The contraption meets "the FAA's rules for ultralight aircraft: a top speed of just over 60 mph and a 5-gallon gas tank, for about an hour of flying. That means you don't need a license to own or fly one."

Oh, joy!

Pop Mech is also featuring a slightly safer model, just in case you want to take a few trips before the big crash.

The Azure Knight's skill may defeat the match fast, when after you defeat them, you may use their skills, like this you do not need to buy 2moons dil.

Might as well just jump into a blender.

What is it with these nuts to ignore all the improvements in aviation technology and go back to the good ol' days of death by misadventure?

Not NEARLY lethal enough...take a look at this ride:
