If you've got a taste for danger and some extra change laying around, why not?

COOL! I’ll just call it “deficit neutral” and put it on my plastic.

63 mph and 30 minutes of flying time, a 10-12 mile comute could be reduce to 15 to 20 minutes.

By design, the jetsetter along for the ride won't be able to exceed 63 miles per hour, with a flight time limited to 30 minutes.
So the Search and Recovery teams won't have to stretch their efforts beyond a 31 1/2 mile radius.

I remember this one scene in the movie “The Rocketeer” where the rocket pack was tested on a tether. Yep.

Looks like something you'd see at a Texas Chili Cook-off filled with endangered species meat and Lone Star beer...and tequila...and peppers ...lots of habanero peppers.

"Do they make a solar version and does it come in green?"
I don't thinks so, but they are working on one that runs on naturally produced bio-gas, the owner has to eat a lot of beans though. ;-)

Make that 60 minutes and throw in a parachute and I might have to buy one of those! If I could cut my 25 mile commute to flying overhead and landing at work, I’d just have to do it.
