# Wheels as Wings The Death Wheel 3000dx is a Superman Simulator By Allison Love | Published 2010-05-31 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/death-wheel-3000dx References: [coolthings](http://www.coolthings.com/death-wheel-3000dx/) & [purincess](http://www.purincess.com/fresh/the-death-wheel-3000dx/) Now, this is an interesting invention. The Death Wheel 3000dx is a Superman-inspired [flying simulator](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/driving-simulations), or at least that's what the marketers are calling it. To me it looks like a kid's creation during craft hour. The device has [two huge wheels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naowheel) which serve as the transportation while the middle is where the person is supposed to "fly." The [body-worn suspension](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exoquad-v2) allows you to be suspended over the ground while the two wheels allow you to move. The Death Wheel 3000dx is really just an imaginative way to get a spinal injury, and the name really does nothing for me... ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Virtual Reality Entertainment:** The Death Wheel 3000dx showcases the growing trend of immersive and interactive entertainment experiences using virtual reality technology. - **Transportation Innovations:** The incorporation of large wheels as a mode of transportation in the Death Wheel 3000dx presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the transportation industry. - **Body-worn Suspensions:** The body-worn suspension system utilized in the Death Wheel 3000dx demonstrates a trend towards more advanced and comfortable suspension technologies for various applications. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Gaming and Amusement:** The Death Wheel 3000dx appeals to the gaming and amusement industry by offering a unique and exciting virtual reality experience. - **Sports and Adventure:** The innovative transportation mechanism in the Death Wheel 3000dx has the potential to disrupt the sports and adventure industry by introducing a new way to move and experience thrill-seeking activities. - **Rehabilitation and Therapy:** The body-worn suspension system featured in the Death Wheel 3000dx opens up possibilities for innovative rehabilitation and therapy solutions that provide support and movement opportunities for patients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wearable Electric Three-Wheelers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-electric-threewheeler.md) - [Full-Tilt Steering Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourwheel-scooter.md) - [Single-Wheeled Modular Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-naowheel.md) - [Motorcycle-Training Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motorcycletraining-gadgets-rawrrs-wheelie-helper-is-the-perfect-practice-to.md) - [Airborne Electric Motorcycle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kuickwheel-skyrider-x6.md) - [All Terrain Electric Skis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skwheel-one.md) - [Powered Multi-Workout Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zerowheel.md) - [Advanced Wheelchair Treadmills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wheely-x.md) - [Rugged All-Terrain Rollerblades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allterrain-rollerblades.md)
