What an absolute thrill this would be:
http://jet-man.com/playervideo.swf?video=jetman2007.flv 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.

Anyone got a mirror? It's absolutely painful to watch!
