For the adventurous person who’s done it all- Jetlev R200 plans to shoot you 35 mph into the air. This 30-pound jetpack is totally real, totally rentable, and totally attached to a mini-boat housing a 200 HP marine engine.When the engine pumps 1,000 gallons of water per minute at 60 psi (think fire hose) to the pack, you'll propel 30 feet up.Your two-hour flight experience starts with instruction. You’ll watch a safety video and get in-pack training. Then you don your wetsuit, life vest and helmet, and it’s out on the water.Though you are sitting on a padded seat and strapped into a five-point safety harness, you’ll feel effortlessly suspended as you zoom weightlessly through the air. Simple arm movements control your direction in three dimensions- http://www.jetlevsouthwest.com/
