Generates lift
foofiepie, I thought that was a face shield of some kind.
RubberElectrons, 
Is it a mustache? It looks like a shield for sure… But then why’s his nose out?

Mouth breathing, nose hanger? Some peoples respiratory pathway doesn't include the nose. shrug
prettybunnys, I’m betting it is a communication device so he can speak to the safety crew / engineers
PugJesus, I thought he had a mustache under the face shield, but it might be a reflection rather than transparency.
RizzRustbolt, No guy is going to have a belly like that and then not have a mustache.

philycheezestake, Well it’s not exactly like riding a bike.
PugJesus, It's almost rocket science.
AnUnusualRelic, 
Their whooping 3 minutes of autonomy doesn’t help much.
xia, I guess that means we need… NUCLEAR jet packs!!!
LongbottomLeaf,
aluminium, Bro just entered ROCKETMAN
Wrench, The strong center of gravity on that pilot helps stability like ballast.
Jumuta, obese rocket fallacy
PsychedSy, Dr Robotnik gets his start.
