I love how the description says that rocket belts are unpredictable and dangerous. I have this image in my mind of what a bottle rocket looks like when you launch it without using the bottle.

...or what happens when there's a malfunction and your altitude is way too low for a parachute to save you...

Still, it's the prettiest jet pack I've ever seen. It's so steampunk.
