It may not look like a great amount but what this picture doesn't show is the height of how cool it is. Believe me, it is quite high."To date, only 11 men in history have free-flown a rocketbelt. More men have walked on the moon."
From Sept. 22-24 of this year, The Niagara Aerospace Museum hosted the first ever Rocketbelt Convention. A convention designed entirely around the jetpack. I'd love to have gone.
Here's a short but good article on the convention and a brief history of the rocketbelt.
Be sure to click on the video link. There's some awesome footage of 43-year-old former stuntman Eric Scott flying a rocketbelt across a city block, 40 feet in the air. CRAZY!
Here's a flickr set of photos too.
