Use Hitch to grab a free ride

People have started designing so many bizarre things that I cannot for the life of me find any use of. It gives the phrase 'stranger than fiction' a whole new meaning. Here's a belt with three humongous suction cups that help you latch on to anything. This product is called Hitch and it is the concept of designer Robert Nightingale. Sounds like a hippie designer to me who believes in a free world. He thinks travelers should be able to hitch free rides by latching on to any mode of transportation. I don't think he has given much thought to safety of the travelers. Apparently, the suction cups are strong enough to keep you secured to the vehicle, but are you really ready to trust them? It might seem like a great idea to college students after a dozen drinks or so, but other than that I only see it being frowned upon. Straight from the horse's mouth, "For best results position yourself at traffic lights, railway stations or air hangers. Subtly wait for the opportune moment (which is precisely 7 seconds before the initial point of acceleration) and attach the product as firmly as possible to the host vehicle (a brief run up usually does the trick), paying attention to ground clearance for ones feet and enjoy the ride."

I hope Robert Nightingale is kidding about this Hitch concept. It might seem cool in the movies, but I think it is a disaster in making in real life. Call me over cautious, but better safe than sorry. I think my two feet are free and efficient transportation. The only real use I can think for it is that it might help me latch on to a hot rich guy.
