This is the Video of the Man Crashing His Jetpack on Live TV

Jul. 15, 2011 5:12pm Jonathon M. Seidl

The title of this story pretty much says it all. But Alex Alvarez sums it up pretty well:

In the following video, please enjoy what happens when “John” attempts to fly his jetpack for a live Fox Five Morning News segment during the San Diego Yacht and Boat Show. And know that, yes, you are an awful human being for laughing at this.

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

If you have never heard the bear story? It goes like this, Some days you eat the bear and some days the dear eats you. Just when you do not want things to go wrong. Bear Story!

  Small trivia: the newscaster says that the flyer looks like Carl DeMaio — which is a little bit true. More importantly to viewers of The Blaze, Carl DeMaio is a local City Councilman that has rattled the establishment cages with some much needed true fiscal conservatism. Carl is also running for mayor, and currently leading in the polls. If elected, San Diego would be able to boast of having the most fiscally conservative mayor of all major US Cities. And yes, that’s San Diego…. CALIFORNIA, of all places. Funny video.

@ Robert: Its a toy, you dont see the gas powered pump pressurizing the tube of limited length that he is dragging around. Not very portable if its fixed to a dock. Just a rich mans toy. Does look like fun though!

If you want to see the real version, check out an old James Bond movie, its in one of them.

  Dont forget the extensive shots of a real jet-pack flying in the old Lost in Space TV show.

This is an outrage! That thing should be outlawed! The pump could suck up and mangle some kind of protected sea kittens.

Notice the trailing water pickup tube caught on the corner of the dock and the upward lift stopped hence the drop into the water.

Jetpacks are not practical at all. They are only good for about a half a minute of flight.They have a glide ratio of an anvil strapped to a manhole cover!

Sometimes it work other times it no work…did not the mythbusters try something similiar to this a few years ago? I think it was based on a video done by this guy and they tested it out to see if it actually would work?

Now that is cool, and I mean that literally. If you can crash in the water and still come up like that, it would be a cool toy to have.

  I agree it’s a very innovative invention.
  
  It would be even better if the propulsion system could be adapted with a fuel other than water, because the apparatus seems to be allowing him to control his forward and backward speeds, as well as turn, and he was able to hover as well.
  
  With a few improvements and operator practice it would be an excellent way to travel short distances. It would save lots of gas and reduce the traffic on crowded freeways.
  
  Make it mandatory to demonstrate proficiency with one, like a driver’s license, to reduce accidents.

That was hilarious. But you have to give the guy some credit, he did eventually get airborne.
