That last bloke has to be at the head of the queue for an upcoming Darwin Award.

It's a toss-up whether he'll wipe himself out in spectacular fashion in the hoverbike first, or in the jet-powered go-kart.

I just love the lack of even any basic protective equipment, such as a helmet or a suit. I can't wait to see him strap a rocket to his back for faster performance.

ahhhh yes, taking responsibility for ones own actions, good to see some parts of the world still allow it, and the fun things to be had.

I don't see much responsibility there, Ultralights. He's probably got a wife and kids, too - but whether they keep, or lose, their husband and father, obviously doesn't concern him too much.

Slightly off-topic, but saw a drone/helicopter at the AERO Friedrichshafen exhibition from Volocopter
It comes in 1, 2 and 4 seat versions., with internal and remote control !

I cannot discover what the battery endurance is though.

Jet karts are for wimps. Real men use jet bicycles.
The man is a mad genius!

I just love the way he eschews even basic body protection - but he always has to wear a tie!!
Ahh well, I guess he's the classic believer in the motto of madmen - "Live Fast, Die Young, have a Good-Looking Corpse"!

Not sure how his Hover Bike would go if it threw a blade from the front
