Yeah, this has been suggested a lot of times. However, all of the suggestions for it I've seen for it are just "fall slower, move faster" thing.
A glider would be made out of 3 parts: 2 wings and a frame.
Wings:

[]
( = Cow hide) (you could also flip the crafting design around)
That would give you 2 leather wings. Why not wool? Well, have you ever tried making a glider out of sheep cloth?
Frame:

Once you get the wings and frame, you put them together like this:

[] [] []
( = Wing, = Frame)
You can equip the glider as a chest piece.
When you jump while running, the glider activates. How it'd work would be like this:
Your body would be flat, parallel to the glider. So if you're aiming straight ahead, it's like the glider is flat. Now for the fun part. You aim down to go down and fall faster, and then aim up to go up. A lot like the Wing Cap in SM64.
Gliding, while fun, would also come with its fair share of dangers. If you hit the ground at too sharp an angle, the glider breaks and you get some health chipped off. So you're going to need to find some flat ground to land on. If you're gliding over a forest, chances are you're gonna land bad. If you land at a good angle, your glider doesn't get damage and you had quite a bit of fun.
It'd be cool, because if you go down fast, you'd get a real sense of speed, since it's first-person.
oh, and maybe you could have stuff equipped while on the glider?
RAIN DEATH WITH ARROWS
or maybe not, since you have to hold on to the glider and everything.
You should be able to hold items in your hand and use them (ex. whack with sword, rain of arrows, random lava spam from sky) but it would make it harder to control. we should also be able to drop on cows. voila! a Minecraft style carpet bomb. That will have some potential in PvP...

Actually, that's the best mental image ever. A dying, drowning man stuffing his face from a massive wall of cake, and carving out a monstrous underwater cake picture. I'd pay to watch that irl.

I agree. Climbing up cliff-like mountains is fun, but getting back down without maiming yourself, not so much.

That looks familiar! It needs to be in a different order, otherwise that's a Cow Hide Staircase. >.<

No sense in having 2 items with only one purpose if there's room in the frame design for the wings.
Same cost, less steps, no need for another item.

I like that better, less steps!
