Yes kept it over the water... he did get somewhat high....

My guess is that over the water the height of fall you can survive vs the height needed for an aggressive ballistic parachute might just overlap...

On concrete probably not as much...

According to their website they're working on an integrated chute connected to an onboard diagnostics computer that would detect a malfunction and automatically deploy the chute (manual deploy also).

I wonder how high you have to be for the chute to deploy properly?

Looks fun, but I'd hate to have a bird strike with that!

I don't know, flying a bonanza any bird strike on the whole area of the windscreen is going to be a bad day.... flyign the Jet pack your slower and the target size is smaller...

In the Breezy at 60knots its not the bird strikes that bother me, its the bug strikes...
Too small to duck or dodge and still sting..

I love watching this stuff where people are expanding the boundaries. Not practical yet, but if no one pushes to the edges nothing will ever get done.

The fun in this thing would be flying low. Not sure the chute would work at 10 or 20 feet.
