Not a jet, not yet commercialised and I believe it's an old video. At least I've seen one much like it before. |

That thing's enormous. To me that's starting to leave jetpack territory and entering helicopter where you're strapped to the outside territory. |

This looks more like a ducted fan than a jet, but I like! |

I don't think the helmet would hurt.

It may be able to fly a mile high and at 62 miles per hour, but only for 1/2 hour. Not very efficient. Its basically a concept design. They can't add a bigger tank to it because then it would be too heavy.
Fuel Capacity 5 US gallons (18.9 litres)
Fuel burn 10 US gallons (38 litres)/hr |

@ajd121: maybe not. The only way to make it smaller is to increase the efficiency of the blades and the motor without increasing their mass, just like a helicopter.
Considering the helicopter's overall design has not changed for at least 20 years I don't think this one's will. |

A little on the large side now, but just like with cell phones they will get smaller and better. |
