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.

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.

Back in the late 40s and early 50s thee was a movie serial named “Rocket Man” but his rocket attached to his back was much smaller and there were no limits on where he went and what speed he flew at.

Make sure you fly in Class G airspace.

Sorry, not that impressive.
TAM down in Mexico http://www.tecaeromex.com/ingles/indexi.html have been building REAL jet-pack’s for several years.
This is a personal fan-jet pack, not really the same thing.
Both have one thing in common, neither innovation is being made in America!
And I bet neither is restricted for range or speed in their own countries, unlike here.
I’m really more interested in TAM’s peroxide jet ultra-light one man helicopter.
They even have a version you wear, just like this fan-jet system.

This photo shows a $100,000 noisy way to hang motionless 3 feet off the ground.
These things and "flying cars" have been popping up as the Next Great Thing for about 60 years now. They get about as far as these tethered tests and then they go away.
