Noodles!!!
Those colored toys kids play with in the pool and then smack each other around with. What if you just took something flat and attached it to the skids to disburse the weight. Maybe some of that blue foam the use to make foamies out of, something a bit rigid that is light and can support some weight.
Floats would probably work too, that would tempt me to find a body of water to fly from though. Which, given the way Murphy (and his law) seems to work it would probably be a bad thing.
cross section one of those noodles and zip tie it to the skid, that would distribute the weight wouldn't it?
I know about Mr. Murphy, he always seems to be hanging around right close
