I know I've seen someone on where with it.. I was looking into that design but wanted to put some sort of twist on it..

Just get a Leonardo Di Caprio tattoo and everyone will assume you're gay. There's a twist.

Have you guys ever had someone suspect that your closing pin necklace was a gay symbol?

I tell people it's a stylised Sperm, they stop asking questions then

Doesn't the Jari Kousma (founder of Birdman) have a DaVinci man with wings under the outstretched arms?

da Vinci, or was it Michelangelo? This was the one that popped into mind when I saw your question:

And yes, it is Jari who has the birdman/da Vinci tattoo...

unless you have jumped a true square (depicted in the pic) don't get the tat. Jump one ...if you live... then get one

There was a show (discovery channel?) where they tried it out. Square wood frame with fabric panels, released from a hot air balloon. As I recall, it didn't go well, had to get rid of it and go to a real parachute pretty quickly.

The late Adrian Nichols made the Da Vinci parachute according to Da Vinci's design specs using the materials described and hauled it to altitude. It worked as designed but he did cut away from it and landed under a modern parachute. I want to say it is part of the movie Adrenaline Rush, but I may be mistaken.

I wish I could unread that. I forgot about the teletubbie with the gay symbol on his head. Now everytime I see a closing pin I'll remember this.
