A guy has been flying around Los Angeles airspace using a jetpack...
Bezos, Musk, Branson?

Some fantastic POV parkour from a famous British group called Storror. Put it on as large a screen as you can and enjoy!
"We are not provided with wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves, after a journey through the wilderness which no one else can take for us, an effort which no one can spare us, for our wisdom is the point of view from which we come at last to regard the world." --M. Proust
Holy crap, that was amazing. Now maybe I'll be thinking twice before telling my son, "You're spending too much time playing video games. You need to go outside and play with your friends".
I almost fell out of my chair during the scenes when they were standing on building ledges - MANY stories up.

Maybe you should watch a couple of their other videos before you draw that conclusion. The one I posted was a POV video, but they have plenty of videos showing them doing incredible things out in broad daylight with people standing around watching, and video shot from another person so you can see exactly what is being done. The POV videos are obtained by having one of them hold a GoPro in his mouth with a device designed for that. Also one of the guys has been on Ninja Warrior in the UK and has demonstrated leaping skills that look impossible in front of crowds of onlookers.
They also show themselves failing many things they attempt, and then figuring out how to do it better in order to eventually succeed. Sometimes one or more of them fail a challenge entirely.

This is hilarious.

That had me going for a minute. I thought, "If this guy is for real, Southwest needs to hire him away. Scratch that - SNL does!"
