As has been said, he was done a favour by it not even getting more than a few feet before falling apart. Two things that struck me, 1) how lucky 'we' are having mile upon mile of level reliable roads and paths, whereas our magnificent man in his flying machine had the opposite and 2) despite being overwhelmed by the physical evidence of defeat, he hoists his dreams to the mast and sets sail again and again and maybe perhaps one day he will achieve his dream of flying.
