Not sure whether that falls into the "totally awesome" or "amazing" bucket...
I'd say "I want one!" but I'd be way to chickenshit to actually fly one of those things.
On a more sombre note - is this the future of mass casualty suicide terrorism? This and maybe drones... strap a few kg of your favourite explosive to your ride and in you go. It's not going to bring a building down, but you could do an awful lot of damage at a crowded location... and there is absolutely nothing anyone could do to react in time to stop it.

That's Yves Rossy - Jetman. Now he has a protege I guess.

Parachute. Yves Rossy is Swiss. He's been doing this for years. He developed the wing. No idea who the new guy is.
Oh hell yeah! I wouldn't be doing tricks, but this looks even better than those wingman suits. Well, I don't know. It might be a tie. Different experience, I suppose.
But on the subject just mentioned, how come we can't recruit some of those nutcases that shoot up public places and then kill themselves to instead strap on one of these babies and fly into an ISIS base?

Surely we've got shoulder-fired heat seeking missiles that could take them out.
Only thing that would suck is if they were carrying dirty bombs. Then, you'd just be dispersing it for them.

Except get up there with him and duke it out. You'd have to be expecting it, though. And fast. You'd have to be fast.
A terrorist in a jet-pack already is a dirty bomb.

That'd be something right out of a Marvel comic book movie.

I think it is kind of lame. It's neither a good jet nor a good glider.
How about

I see those guys a lot when I fish Lake Conroe. They're pretty amazing. And annoying. They make a belly flop count though. I see some awesome water crashes with those guys.

That could definitely fuck up your fishing. Man, you could troll some divers hard with that thing.
