This is one of the coolest things i've seen lately. Only this guy either has a deathwish or cohones bigger than his helmet. There's no way i'd strap a jet engine to my back and jump with it from thousands of feet. Crazy!

Its the perfect form of freedom to me. I am serious when I say I want this thing. Only a bit of flight time due to lack of fuel, but nothing is perfect. I love it!

mmm....Its not much different to jet powered hang gliders, which have been around for years....Just the wing is smaller, faster and it is unable to land or takeoff unassisted.

It's more unstable than it looks. Wait untill he makes it more robust. You don't want to be caught in a wrong gust of wind on that thing. And add an emergency parachute. And ejectable turbines to reduce weight on your fall.

I'd be looking for the inclusion of a quick release mechanism in case anything went suddenly wrong :yep:
