A water-powered jet pack? Say what?
I didn't have access to the original schematics: so I drew some of my own. That's me up there.Courtesy JGordonI don't know about this... if God had meant for man to fly, He would have created us with high-power hoses attached to our butts. So unless this guy was born this way, I think he might be committing a crime against nature.
This seems kind of fakey, but also kind of totally awesome. And here's a year and a half old post from Wired.com that seems to be the patent for this very same water jet-powered recreational vehicle.
The future is shaping up to be pretty cool, my friends. Pretty cool.

If he flew over us, I guess that would be like the ultimate Super Soaker experience.

Oh no! It looks like the video is gone. That's too bad, because it was rad. Basically the video that used to be here was exactly like my drawing. Except it moved.
Hey John,
I just replaced the video with another one. The one you posted had some not so happy links at the end.
Oh no!
One would have hoped that jet packs would be associated with a more reputable crowd.
