Can you share more about where you took the class? Continuing education, or a vocational school? Did you take it purely as a hobbyist, or hope to get into the trade?

To solve the wide-screen, narrow text problem, I once threw together a demo with a hacked up Chromium/WebKit to create a flowing, multi column view mode that created a long virtual scroll surface and scrolled it like newspaper columns: https://vimeo.com/59463521.
It wasn't super intuitive, but wish a modern browser had this.

This is essentially how a wingsuit works, although inflation happens in flight through inlets. That is in general how nylon wings (e.g. paragliders) work as well.

You'd be remiss if you don't mention Binary Ninja[1]. A relative newcomer that's already extremely capable, has great scripting support and is under very active development.

If you're healthy and using a normal, dynamic rope, no it won't. It won't even hurt. A factor 2 fall onto webbing or dyneema can totally mess you up though, even from a couple of feet.

Unsafe for what? Almost all of the fall forces should be dissipated by a dynamic rope, not the harness.
