NO! In my lifetime? WOW. Amazing. Like super heroes. I'm sure Jeff Bezos has ordered a pair.

Wow. Very cool. It'll be the hottest gift when it finally makes it to the private sector market.

Very neat! Their arms must have to be very strong to control those power packs.

I saw the newest developement where the guy has 3 jet packs, one on his back and it's going in a longer range in time.

Those mini fuel powered jet packs are now very powerful.

@Upton: LoOoL!
Although I kinda - nastily - hope Jeff Bezos' one will be powerful enough to send him straight into the sun. He deserves that much after all, doesn't he :-)

@Pat: way more funny and lesser catastrophic than AR-15s, I agree.

@Rick: nah, they'll come up with an exo-skeleton if need be...

@JiEL: it looks to me like the guy in the video is wearing one on his back. But I might be wrong (I'm no Prince Harry after all :-)

Ho his backpack is just a fuel container. You have to see the newest ones I say on a science channel or search on Google.

The design of the arm jets is very different and the backpack is too.

See here the latest version developped since 2016
