I actually tried that once... and that's when I slipped off and totally landed on my butt. The gloves just aren't grippy enough, or are too grippy, or the whole thing was too weird.... like having a second skin that moves independently... which is alarming when you're holding yourself up in the air.

I'm sure it's possibly to get good enough gloves... but I'll just brave it for the moment, I'm sure winter will quit it any day now.
