Jetpacks are real!
Crush:
I´d prefer flying with the wing (seems to be more action and fun):
f0dder:
The water one looks like a boatload of fun, but the air-based Martin one looks more technologically impressive - and I really dig the guy's enthusiasm, it's obvious that this is his life's dream come true :)
The Wing thing looks like a major adrenaline trip - pretty darn dangerous :o. Wonder if it has military uses :)
Crush:
It has been developed during the last 10 years (then I read the first time of it) only for military usage and now they want to produce the wing for the free market as a new sport. Detailed interviews were given 5 years ago. The first public videos came up during the last year.
Edvard:
Dude, that's Yves Rossy, the crazy-a... ahem... courageous former airline pilot.

His last outburst of insanity brave endeavour was to jet-pack it from Morocco to Spain.

Looks like it will be Adam Strange pretty soon. Just have to watch out the rocket exhaust doesn't fry your ass.
With all these gizmos one has to contemplate what happens when the "engine" stalls. If it's "drop like a stone" then I don't even want to be a passenger.
