I am thinking the exact same thing myself. It might be Elon Musk's new toys he is playing around with. But I am betting that it is @laylalex's Alex trying to fly away before the wedding hahahaha

Noooo! He is staying right here. He won't even come with me to Big Bear next week so I am going on my own to sit in a hot tub and drink wine and wear SWEATERS at night (50F overnight lows!) and just destress. He can take care of himself for a couple of days; he knows how to order delivery. :P

Why would the article writer consider a pilot more reliable or trustworthy? 

 

A jet pack can go up to 3k ft alt. Some also have a paracetamol 

I'm scared to ask, but what does acetaminophen have to do with jet packs???

Also, parachutes (and paramotors) can go way higher than 3k.

Smart man.

He thinks so. I think so. Ultimately it comes down to risk appetite, and apparently mine is higher. It's all good -- still excited about the big day in just over 7 weeks. :)

Paracetamol is awesome. Wish it was a legal otc drug here.
