Be A Rocketeer

Rocket Belt-1

Like you can totally live out your childhood fantasies of flying around with a rocket powered backpack. Dubbed the Rocket Belt, developers TAM claim it can send a human weighing up to 300 pounds into the air

They ain't lying. This is the same device marketing gurus used during the premier of James Bond Casino Royale. For just $250,000, you too can own your very own Rocket Belt. The hefty price tag also includes 10 training lessons and machine parts maintenance.

I'm still very weary about having rocket exhaust barely 2 feet behind my dangling legs but hey, no pain no gain right?

The company site has a couple videos of the thing in action.
