Gliding can be dangerous, way up there in the sky, so why not bring
it
down here? Have a large inflatable tube of sorts, and tether a
glider.
Use a large fan to simulate forward movement to create lift. Make
the wind go a lot faster than regular glider speed. Maybe... 80 MPH,
and give
the person small wings.

Er, so, a wind tunnel done cheap?
Or more tethered power-kite flying (man-lifting)? |
|

I think it's just one of these on it's side (link) - i.e. a wind tunnel done cheap. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing though. |

Yes, it's a cheap wind tunnel. Less training, more instant
gratification, less liability. |
