I won’t be doing business with any auto insurance company that also insures these. Period. Count on it.

God bless Kiwi ingenuity, but there may be a reason why all of the "pilots" but one shown in the video were slender women and the one man (at the end) looked skinny as Hell and was just standing there with a grin on his face.
But it's an interesting attempt at something people have been dreaming about since the days of Dick Tracy cartoons.

They may look like a cool thing to alot of people, but a lot of people will die on these things too.

Hmmmm.
Tempting. The concrete parking area in front of my new house has been compared to a helipad. Looks like the perfect take-off/landing area.

There will be Chinese copies I’m sure, and I bet there will be plans for a new generation of kamikaze Jihad fighters lining up for suicide missions, like into Israel.

They could be used by suicide jihads here in the States too, it doesn’t take a lot of imagination to come up with several types of missions right off the top of ones head.

You articulated two great points. Do you want the prize behind door number 1, door number 2 or door number 3?

Maybe you’re right... could lead to more production of, and lower prices for, peroxide, in turn to more blondage...

After nearly 30 years in development, New Zealand's Martin Aircraft Company is finally gearing up to sell its jetpack: two rockets driven by a 2-liter, 200-horsepower engine that can theoretically take you as high as 8,000 feet.
Of course, then the fuel runs out, and you're on your own...

Don't see kites stuck on power lines much anymore but I guess now we'll start seeing these jet packers.

They may look like a cool thing to alot of people, but a lot of people will die on these things too.This is a cool thing, but it will be deemed an inappropriate toy if HC passes. The gov't will stop providing health care benefits to people injured on these.
