Things like this will never be allowed to be mainstream. I mean people generally cannot as a whole manage a 2 dimensional field of travel. Do you really think that society can handle 3 dimensional travel?

Beyond that, when someone runs out of fuel, they will not simply coast to a stop, they will fall to their death.

As fun as i think that this or personal aircraft would be, We are just too stupid as a society, and it would be impossible to make this safe enough for the masses.
You do realize that your statements could be applied to helecopters, too?

Though I do agree that these packs, like flying cars, while promised for decades, will never become primary means of travel for the masses.

Plus, at least this thing has a built in parachute. That sounds safer than a helecopter.

I didn't read where they were going to hand them out at the welfare office. Sorry, if I missed that.
