What an absolute thrill this would be:

This definitely tops the old Hollywood jet pack we all though we'd some day be able to get. Though it would really suck to get a bird in the "windshield" while buzzing around.

Do you know where children get all of their energy? - They suck it right out of their parents!

Holy Shit.

Very impressive feat.

I had to laugh at the post flight recap though - that's as excited as Swiss people tend to get, even after having a rocket strapped to their back while they scrape the west side of the Alps. You should see them at the supermarket.

Just kidding Swissies.

Well that's one of the neatest things I've seen in a long time.

At first I thought "is he just falling really cool?", but halfway into it, he's obviously "flying" (moving forward), and seems to have a good bit of control.

What a rush.

I'm stopping by Home Depot after work...I gotta get in on this!

If you read about a 38-year-old guy from Tennessee who slammed into Lookout Mountain at 250mph, giggling (and then swearing) uncontrollably, chances are it was me. Remember the good times...

I recall a guy flying across the English channel in one of these with Red Bull decals.
