Not to mention the mass. Perhaps the pressure vessels could be relatively lightweight, but a pump that could charge such a pressure vessel to the pressure and capacity needed for this type of stunt will not be lightweight.

And mass is one of the top engineering concerns for these types of performance vehicles, even those which do not need to fight gravity.
