    I just saw in our local paper a short article about a company that operates out of Maunalua Bay (Hawaii Kai) that provides water adventure activities. They are getting ready to sell rides with a water powered, strap-on jet pack.The water is provided by a power unit that trails behind, connected to the jet pack by a 30 foot hose.

    The article says that first time riders will be limited to heights of 5 or 6 feet and will only have control over their direction. The provided helmet will have communication with company staff that are controlling the equipment. The cost will be $199. The article states that the setup costs a little under $100K.

    Sounds interesting and fun....;>)

    ... until somebody gets killed or worse!

    Based on what you described, this looks like it could be it... Lots of other videos on YouTube.

    Yes. Jetlev is mentioned in the article. I do hope that they can keep it safe for people with no experience.
