I thought it was fake at first (with the experienced flier) but after seeing some serious fails I'm thinking its real.

There's a show on NatGeo that had an epi with a rocket engine
designer as the guest. He originally did a jet-ski powered
backpack for his daughter.

The jet-ski was tethered and manned. It was redesigned with and for
the series host to use, that is, larger diameter "nozzles" for
increased thrust, and a lightened backpack frame.

Looks like it has potential to explore some rivers, but is too unstable. So I'm out for now.

There’s obviously a bit of a learning curve involved in piloting one of these things.
