Haha if I made a player rage-quit my game because of a long fall, I see that as a success xD
I made the mid-air switching useless because I realized if I made it possible the umbrella - blower combo would be really hard to balance since you would only use that all the time. But with more time that is definitely something I would try to make actually work, because there is a lot of potential to do cool combos with different gadgets mid-air :D
