Man Flies Over 1,500 Ft Gorge in a Jet Pack!

[Bilal91]

That's it, I know what I want for Christmas. A jet pack.

Yesterday, former stuntman Eric Scott defied the laws of gravity and risk his life by flying 1,500 feet over a 1,000 foot deep gorge yesterday in 21 seconds…IN A JET-PACK.

Ever since The Rocketeer, many of us have been dreaming of the day the jet pack would finally become a reality. Before his trip across the sky, Eric said, "There is no parachute. There is no safety net. There is no air bag. But there is 800 horsepower on my back."

And what if it didn't work? "Scott’s backup plan was to kill the gas and save any remaining fuel for a final burst as he neared something he could grab onto on the cliff above the Arkansas River. "

Ahh! Apparently the jetpack "wobbles" at 60mph, but he had to travel at 75mph to make it across the gorge. TakePart makes a good point - this might not be the most fuel-efficient form of travel.... but wouldn't it be great if there was an eco-friendly jet pack? I would totally jet pack to work. Take that, LA traffic!
