- BeShirtHappy, on 11/25/2008, -0/+25Without a backup parachute - now that's insane.
- AmyVernon, on 11/25/2008, -1/+23I do like the Jets! :-)
But how crazy is this guy? - inactive, on 11/25/2008, -0/+18Sorry to hear about your heavy flow you got going on down there, but I didn't really need to hear about it.
- reallytempting2, on 11/25/2008, -0/+17I need a jet pack to get to work.
- ElGanyan, on 11/25/2008, -0/+16I read somewhere that their periods attract bears... the bears can smell their menstruation!
- mickstephenson, on 11/25/2008, -3/+16I don't think many girls would announce their period on the internet.
The fact your avatar is of an attractive young woman, and your eagerness to announce your femininity combined with the basic fact that there are no girls on the internet I come to the conclusion that you're not really "A 25 year-old grrrl who joined Digg on November 14th, 2008" and in the last week and a half gained 485 friends, dugg 1830 articles, posted 203 comments, and submitted 13 articles 4 of which became popular.
No hot 25 year old girl would spend that must time on Digg.
Guys...

You're either a banned Top Submitter, or the front for a marketing company. - inactive, on 11/25/2008, -6/+18Saw his interview yesterday. Was wondering how long it was gonna be before it got on digg.
Sorry..I'm a little slow right now...it's that time of the month. - d0ctaew, on 12/30/2008, -0/+10I need a jet pack to get AWAY from work.
- aereaus, on 11/25/2008, -0/+9Crazy thing is jet packs have been around since the 60's. Sean Connery used one, or his stunt double did in Thunderball (1965). Would love to have and fly one, but until they figure out a better fuel system, they're not very practical.
- ElGanyan, on 11/25/2008, -0/+9At that height it wouldn't likely do much if he had one...
- jfdolier, on 11/25/2008, -0/+9I just flew in from Canon City and boy are my arms tired
- AmyVernon, on 11/25/2008, -1/+9omg, you all just have to stfu.
- jcorn1, on 11/25/2008, -0/+7Wait - this isn't going to be available by Xmas? Crossing it off my list....
- WELLDOITLIVE, on 11/25/2008, -0/+6Dad?
- inactive, on 11/25/2008, -0/+6Is that what I smell?
- inactive, on 11/25/2008, -0/+6Thank you Akbar, I almost fell for that one.
- vtbarrera, on 02/03/2009, -0/+6Amazing stunt! I wonder how long it will be till these jet packs become mainstream and easy to use, kind of like the Segway.
- Foamator, on 11/25/2008, -0/+5From "her" profile:
"Sometimes it's that time of the month. You don't know when it is, so always be nice!"
Umm.. I'm pretty sure we do know when it is.
Regardless, like mickstephenson, my vote is that you're a dude. - Ninnux, on 11/25/2008, -0/+5Honestly, would you really want that? I mean, think about the dumbasses on the highway. Then add a third dimension. Accidents, asshattery, littering. No thanks.
- wordybutdirty, on 11/25/2008, -0/+4AWESOME.
- Chairboy, on 11/25/2008, -0/+4'cuzz he's Boba the Fett.
- penguin1908, on 11/26/2008, -0/+4I'm probably MORE female than you could ever become, honey.. And I know for a fact that when it's "that time of the month", I for one don't tell EVERYONE... it's a personal thing missy, not something to advertise! and for two, it sure as hell doesn't effect your damn typing!!!!
- jbbuena, on 11/25/2008, -0/+4Anyone else thought Zone Trooper from C&C?
- WELLDOITLIVE, on 11/25/2008, -0/+4Nevarrrrr
- Akairenn, on 11/25/2008, -0/+3Amen. It's the same reason I hope flying cars never come about. There are enough idiots on the road - I don't need them falling through my ceiling.
- vtbarrera, on 02/03/2009, -0/+3I guess you're right. Littering is just too much to risk with these things becoming mainstream.
- ProjectGSX, on 11/25/2008, -0/+3His back-packs got jets.
- inactive, on 11/25/2008, -0/+3You're hot. Interested in a semi creepy IM session with a stranger?
- IllBeBack, on 11/25/2008, -0/+3"Amy likes the Jets!"
Uhh, who the hell is Amy? Is she hot?
Oh crap, I hope I didn't just invite Pedobear into the mix. - inactive, on 11/25/2008, -0/+3^ This guy has officially won at internet.
- jfdolier, on 11/25/2008, -0/+3Ok, here goes:
I just flew in from Cañon City and boy are my brazos cansados - pastathellama, on 11/25/2008, -0/+3"Jet Pack International hopes to market similar jet packs to the public in the next few years. It would cost about $200,000."
Yes... - goldfenix, on 11/25/2008, -0/+3As I explained below, a parachute wouldn't help you in that canyon anyways. The winds that are in the area will just throw you against the walls.
- inactive, on 11/25/2008, -0/+3Check the first comment.
I'd say hot. - bjs3171, on 11/25/2008, -0/+3how 'bout Super Ted???
oh, i so win. - HiddenCanuck, on 11/25/2008, -0/+3I can't believe he can do all that stuff and he's blind.
- solidcube, on 11/25/2008, -0/+2"Daredevil Flies Across Royal Gorge With Jet Pack - Denver Ne"
We are now known as the jetpack flyers who say "Ecchi, ecchi, ecchi!" - mraymond80, on 11/25/2008, -0/+2Unrelated to the story, but R.I.P. Dwain Weston, he died attempting to fly with a wing suit over the bridge at Royal Gorge... miscalculated and hit the bridge at 120 mph...
- Tweets, on 11/25/2008, -0/+2Denver Post story with more details-http://www.denverpost.com/popular/ci_11063290
- goldfenix, on 11/25/2008, -0/+2Base jumping, as I understand it, usually used more of a wing suit or shaped parachute that is meant to be controlled. A standard, "Save me from hitting the ground" chute isn't really meant for that, thus having much more trouble with the winds.
Also, it was pointed out that the elevation really isn't sufficient for a traditional parachute anyways. - mandarin, on 11/25/2008, -0/+2maybe that makes sense
- j3rm1981, on 11/25/2008, -0/+2What's the deal with jet packs these days? They've been in the media quite a bit.
First it was James May's "Big Ideas".
Then it was John Cleese in "Batteries Not Included".
Now this! And all in the course of about 2 months! - davidg11, on 11/25/2008, -0/+2he HAS this song
Need....more....coffee... - davidg11, on 11/25/2008, -0/+2Only one song is needed for this story.
You know he this song blasting away in his helmet as he's doing this stunt.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBKqwdxUH8U&feature ... - goldfenix, on 11/25/2008, -0/+2(Joke ruiner)
Correctly written out it's "Cañon City" (alt-164 on the numpad)
And yeah, I only know this because I grew up there. - inactive, on 11/25/2008, -0/+2Escape from prison?
- davidg11, on 11/25/2008, -0/+2Yes, because you're going to buy a $200,000 jet pack?
- gsgdiggs, on 11/25/2008, -2/+4You guys need to get over yourselves....who cares!! Why don't you prove your a guy?? Oh wait you just did with these stupid comments! I am a woman and I will talk about whatever I want whenever I want, just like you. It's not like guys don't talk about their natural bodily functions....incessantly. A chick mentions her "time of the month" and all of a sudden she isn't a chick.
The article is about a dare devil why don't you try staying on topic! - AmyVernon, on 11/25/2008, -2/+4@gsgdiggs - Right on, sister! How many "fap fap fap" idiotic comments have we read on Digg? lol. We never accused those Diggers of not being guys just because they're pretending they're masturbating in front of the computer because they think it's funny even though it's actually just pathetic. And a cliche.
I do know plenty of women who openly talk about their periods for the very reason that it makes guys uncomfortable. Lexi's probably laughing her ass off right now. -
