This is how Jesus walked on water.

That little tube that needs to go in the water is.....problematic.

pretty sweet...I want one for x-mas! But yea, what happens if you go too high? Once the tube lifts out of the water do you slam down hard?

JETLEV Technology:

High thrust-to-weight ratio:
Traditional fixed wing and rotary aircrafts suffer from low thrust-to-weight ratios, which limit their performance and agility. Even F/A-18 E/F fighter jets can barely overcome the force of gravity. To achieve a dramatic improvement in this ratio, we remove the propulsion system and support it on a separate boat unit, and generate thrusts by nozzle reaction force by delivering low pressure, high flow water to the jetpack through a supply hose.

Flexible supply hose/tether:
A flexible yet strong water supply hose delivers power to the jetpack with pressurized water. It also serves as the tether with which to pull the boat unit, enforces a flight ceiling, discourages the pilot from flying over land, acts as a stabilizer, dampens vibrations, and maintains forward heading stability when the jetpack is in flight.

Nah

Safety:
Extensive research and testing from 2005 to 2010 helped us to develop extensive safety features and “best practice” operating procedures. Although activities involving height and speed are inherently risky, the risks are minimized when the pilot is protected by a cushion of water of sufficient depths. This is a fact well supported by amateur and professional divers who jump from 5m and 10m platforms. Furthermore, the jetpack’s redundant control systems, 5-point quick-release harness, protective back rest and head support, safety helmet, personal floatation device, safety saddle and inherent floatation provide much better protection than airplanes, cars, boats and personal watercrafts.

Joe Rogan's vision of a world of weed and jetpacks is slowly but surely coming to fruition! Martin Jetpacks are next.

I am disappointed with GLP's tepid response to the JetLev Water-Propelled Jetpack.

Really? It shouldn't come as too big a surprise considering the sedentary nature of most forum monkeys.

Good point.
