What a strange video, thought they'd at least put a voiceover on it, or just cut off the last 30 seconds where nothing happened.
Awesome though!

The amount of fuel they burn means that you don't go very far with a jet pack.

There was a guy on one of James May's TV shows who said it did a tank in about 30 seconds. Don't go too high!

that was a good few years ago and he made it himself. i imagine tchnology has come come along a little bit but i bet you still dont get much flying time. this makes kick ass seem slightly more realistic though

Is it actually a jet engine/thruster? As the launch makes it look like it's a compressed gas/air type thruster
