That is the difference between swiss and american ingenuity:
Last american to think of doing something like this bought a kit from ACME (made in China).

VERY nice stunt. Huge improvement over the 10-20 second ‘jet pack’ flights we’ve seen over the past several decades. Can’t wait to see his (or others’) next step in this field.

How is the guy going to take off from the ground? Run really fast? What he needs is a really high cliff to jump from but that still may not be a safe height to get the kind of speed he needs to light his pack and get altitude. Short of some kind of jet boost that shoots him a thousand feet in the air – and what about the G forces there? – it doesn’t seem very feasible to take off from the ground.

“He started by jumping out of a small, French plane”
I can fly around the world without a jet pack if you start me high enough. Seriously, start on the ground or it’s meaningless.

It great to see an individual conceive, design, build and test their creations successfully. This is where many, if not most, of the technological achievement are born.
