I’ve always wanted one of those jetpacks you see in movies or cartoons, but its quite hard to believe that they exist. However thrill seeking Eric Scott has rekindled that excitement for the the rest of the world and set a new Guinness World record whilst he was doing it.
At a whopping 68mph, which was verified by a police speed gun, Eric is officially the fastest man to ever use a jetpack.
Made famous by the Bond film Thunderball in the 60’s, the jetpack is propelled by a similar hydrogen peroxide used in the original film. This allowed the daredevil around 30 seconds of flying time, which was enough to break the record. Heres to the future of public transport – our own jetpacks!
