30 seconds maintaining level flight with no wings? That's amazing!

He should add a flying suit and a hard-shell backpack to hold the fuel.

I thought the stabilizer fins (4 of them!) mounted sideways on his helmet was an interesting choice.
I did dig the turbines, but I'd worry about having the fuel in water bottles inside my clothes would
be a little unsettling.

Other than those nitpicks pretty sweet.

I think I finally have a use for skydiving!!!!!

Combine that with the wing recently developed and I think it may be the biggest whoopee factor ever!

I imagine the jet engines are sourced from the model aircraft industry. They are making some AMAZING scale models of fighter jets.

Yeap, I would guess model airplane jet engines. Might be the 35 pound thrust models @ $3500 each. Someone has more money and curiosity than brains! Not the best thing to be strapping to your legs.

You know most of the time you just shake your head, but it's always amazing when stuff like this works!

I do agree that the fuell could be stored a little more, uh, what's the word...

He is using a wing suit. That doubles your freefall time.
