Are you kidding? How's about a flame-out and crashing to the earth and getting squashed like a bug..... In hindsight, it might be worth the risk?

OK, my last question was sarcastic. 300km/h with a jet propelled kite on your back? Risk?
A thrill to be sure. I'll wait until I have terminal cancer, then... light me up, baby!!

That is freakin COOL!
Albeit a little risky. But then life is all about risk. I'd need a couple of RATOs attached to get my fat azz airborne.

Believe that I will watch from the ground. Been parachuting for over 30 years and love it but the day I strap rockets on my back has not dawned just yet...

Lots and lots of videos of him on the net.
