        Not to belittle the man's acheivement but what does the 'driver' adds to the equation except for donning the test bunny suit ?
        Simply curious.

              Curious? Well...get into the car & simply sit there & observe if the car falls down; hop on to a motorcycle on two wheels & (try) simply sit on it & observe if the motorcycle falls down. If the motorcycle doesn't fall...that's what the test bunndy suit is doing!!

                If i ever get a chance i definitely will.
                And with my finite knowledge on the subject if i'm not wrong then the streamline rocket has got small side-wheels as support which are retracted once it gains speed.
