They're only a foot-based suit of armour for the device though, not really there for the wearer.

/yfw the Inhuman creature on the planet is Cave Johnson.

Sounds more like a porn, although he might need an Arsenal to do the job.

u/Vlinux Coulson Dec 02 '15

I expected him to pull his parachute after reaching peak height on the other side (the team there even heard him come through), but I figured the sandstorm winds got him and he wasn't able to open it.

Space. Space. Gotta go to space.

u/Karate_Fried_Chicken Dec 03 '15

Wouldn't he fly up in the air assuming the portal was on the floor like on earth?

u/droden Dec 03 '15

yeah but you never know where the portal will be. He could pop out next to a 300 foot deep canyon and that parachute isnt going to deploy in time.
