Back in the 70's we used to go hang gliding, not much different than jumping off a cliff with a kite strapped to your back.

I once skied up hill by using a parachute. Went over the peak and got a much bigger ride than I had anticipated. It was windy and I had no control other than a trip line. Went about a mile, decending about 1,500 ft and crashed in rocks. That sort of put me off of airborn adventure.

I would rather try flying that jetpack then that parachute ride there, Bruce.

Cool video, though.
