Rocket Belt Sold On Internet: May Not Take Paypal
April 5th, 2007 | researchmaterial
Jhayne just sent me this link — Rocket Belts of Tecnologia Aeroespacial Mexicana:
TAM is the only company in the world that produces a complete turn-key package of a flying rocket belt, custom-made to the pilot’s weight and body size.
Only USD $250,000, training included.
* Important: Be aware of people that offer plans, parts or a rocket belt that has not flown and tested because you will be killed.
I love the warnings to not be the test pilot of a cheap knockoff rocketbelt. Still I’d rather we all had inexpensive flying cars …
“…because you will be killed.”
“Not by the belt, mind you; we’ll kill you.”
I’ve got to say, though, that those contraptions look pretty cool.
If I were terminally ill, I’d get one. It can kill me coming down, as long as it takes me up intact.

My birthday is coming up soon…
well… its more of a harness than a belt…
false advertising.
hey, looks like training is included in the price…whouldn’t having watched all the James Bond movies be training enough?
I had this dream where my Dad bought me a really cheap Chinese rocket belt he’d seen on a TV shopping channel.
He insisted I use it to travel from upstate New York to eastern Long Island, to return a book to his former boss’s widow.
Just kind of skimmed the tree tops most of the way, and nearly drowned in Jamaica Bay. Ended up landing in Queens and taking a bus the rest of the way.
I suspect that this is closer to the reality of what rocket belt travel will be like than we care to admit.
no well dressed man should be without one…
