My Kind of Jetpack!

Sure looks like he's wearing motorcycle gear... $285,000?? I'm sure you could build that rig for a lot less. It's probably carbon fiber, and they say it uses model aircraft jet engines for 200lbs of thrust. Looks like the ultimate flight! As close to a real Iron Man as possible right now!

I wouldn't trust it if I built something like that. Forget bags of piss, I would just unzip and let loose.

I'm pretty sure I'd be pissing and shitting myself the entire time so no extra bags of piss/shit would be needed.

It looks like those gliders in the GI Joe cartoon.

Next extreme sport...base jet packing. Since the cops usually catch the base jumpers cause they're usually at the bottom of wherever they jumped from, these guys will invest in the jet packs so they can simply fly away and not get caught.
