OK. I'll bite. Why is it sick. This man is a pilot. He has worked tirelessly to show that a wing-like jet pack can be successfully used. While I was reading this article, MSNBC had a feature on a guy strapping balloons to a lawn chair to fly. The guy in Switzerland is at least a little more creative. Wouldn't you think?

Wow, just wow. Where can I get one? I know I want to be a pilot someday, but that takes it to a whole new level.
On another note, it seems that with the proper funding, this could be put to military or perhaps even commercial use.
