How would you like to be a passenger on a plane and see this out your window.

Although it was a cool video, there's a bunch of reasons that this was a BAD idea. The jet's turbulence could have destabilized those jetpacks, and they could have died. They could have hit an airpocket, destabilized and hit a vital part of the jet, causing it to crash and the jetpack pilots (and whomever is on the jet) could have died. Not to mention that they were flying over a city. So the jetpack pilots could have died, the plane personnel could have died, and whomever would be under the jet or in the path of wreckage could have died.

This is the Jetman duo. They've done these flights and are trained professionals and this was done in conjunction with the Emirates aircraft.
It seems plane is flying at "low" speed as the flaps are deployed.

I didn't know there was an official training program to turn people into "professional" complete idiots. I thought people like that were just naturally gifted with an excess of stupidity.
Seriously, we humans write off a lot to made up titles. There's nothing out there that trains a person to be a professional at doing something like that. The only thing that gives them that title is the fact that nothing fatal has gone wrong while they were doing stupid stuff...yet. It's just like how Paul Newman was in a car with his "trained professional" friend that drove them both into a tree so they died in a fire or how there was a "trained professional" police officer talking to a classroom full of kids that shot himself in the foot. For these two, it's only a matter of dumb luck keeping them alive and not killing a whole buncha innocent people on the ground from falling debris.

what happened to paul walker (not newman i assume, was not rehearsed, discussed in a controlled environment. that was a stupid accident. the police officer, same thing, not prepared with the safety on.
these two had parachutes on, trained, rehearsed everything with the rest of the group. you cant compare this to the other incidents.
Please fuck off with your trolling, it's getting old.
Also, that was Paul Walker.

Time spent doing it and doing it successfully makes them an expert.
So.......you're telling me you're not a professional troll? You sure had me fooled.
Being an expert or professional at something usually means lots of experience and training, yup.
However, in this case, they've just not made a mistake that's killed them yet.
Nope, I'm not a professional troll, just a gifted amateur. But SHHHH!
You mean like being a former fighter pilot, A380/B747 Captain, and have hundreds of flights in a jetpack you designed from the ground up over 20 years? How about being one of the most experienced skydivers and wingsuit flyers in the world who was trained by the inventor of the jetpack?
How about being one of the leading A380 Captains in the world and a training Captain for Emirates?
In this case, I think you have just made an uneducated assumption that made you look like an asshat. Take your lumps and do research next time!

Tut, tut, so bitter and angry.
