    There was an article on the WSJ yesterday about the rise of popularity in Jetpack. In the article, each pack holds about 10 gal. of fuel (hydrogen peroxide) at a cost of $140/g and last for only about 30 seconds (terrible gas mileage). Here is a video clip of Eric Scott, a pilot for Jetpack International, attempting to cross the Colorada Royal Gorge, 1500 feet across and 1053 feet down.....w/ no contigency plan for malfunction or mishap.
