And they just use regular unleaded....

Bah. Old news. James Bond had one back in 1965.

Only problem is, once you get where you are going, where do you park your jet pack?

A slight miscalculation or engine hiccup on landing and you break/ruin your legs. Oh boy.

Gee-Gaw infatuated fools on parade. Jetsons, here we come!!!

That's easy, you carry a long chain or cable and lock it to a parking meter.

Yeah, nobody will mess with it. It's only a JETPACK worth $100,000 !! Maybe they will sell a Club for Jetpacks.

I don't think anyone in their right mind would fly this thing to a local Albertsons or HEB....

I see it as you take it out to a very desolate place and go to town with it.. That would be so much fun oh man, probably so worth the 100,000 if you can afford it. The stupid fox video isn't working... I want to see what it looks like flying. Pretty neat.

There's a video of it here:

Article says it uses 10 gallons of fuel per hour.

How do you stop them?

If you find your jetpack suddenly accelerating out of control, first, try to put it in neutral and coast to the side of the road. Hold the start/stop button down for at least 5 seconds, and if those methods fail, call 911 on your cell and maybe a policeperson will follow you on the interstate for 25 minutes and suggest pulling the emergency brake...

oh, jetpack....nevermind =)

I called my insurance company. They said no. Then they gave me the name of an insurance company in Tuvalu.
