Jet Pack Company Executive Crashes During A Test Flight

[DEAD7]

The Vice President of Jet Pack International was hospitalized Friday after crashing during a test flight in Denver, according to the Associated Press. Though he's successfully flown the company's hydrogen peroxide-fueled jet pack more than 400 times, Friday the vice president experienced "control issues" while hovering 20 feet over the "Go Fast" energy drink company while testing some adjustments, and ultimately crashed in a nearby industrial park. He fell on his head, and he wasn't wearing a helmet, but after receiving 27 stitches, he was released from the hospital Saturday afternoon. The company's jet pack normally has a range of about one-quarter of a mile (and reaches heights of 100 feet) with a flying time of 32 seconds, the Associated Press reports, adding that "The FAA is investigating the crash."

This can't be true

No helmet. Hydrogen peroxide at 20 feet

Could be tampering and wanting to avoid a severance package

I don't get why this is funny, but he should have worn his helmet.

I'm rooting for him and his company. I want a jet pack.
