Jetman Dubai
Great footage of some human-jetpack-flying in/around Dubai. Can't say this is something I'd be attempting, well---maybe if I was 30 years younger, LOL:

Ok - this clip isn't new (Nov 2015), but it's the first I have seen it. Also takes place in Dubai, but they fly next to an Airbus 380 on approach !!

If you can't be Jetman...
...perhaps Virtual Birdman is the next best thing.
I thought this was pretty cool, it was a one day only exhibit that was featured at Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History a couple of months ago. It's called Birdly, and IMO until Oculus and the rest of all of those virtual reality simulators utilize some type of full body movement simulation, they won't really be all that great. Kind of like that contraption in the movie Lawnmower Man that used rotation around all 3 axes, really give you a spatial workout. http://www.chicagotribune.com/bluesk...418-story.html

an update
so no more jumping from an aircraft??!! https://www.stripes.com/news/the-age...on-it-1.565651 The age of true jetpack flight is near, and Special Operations Command wants in on it 23 January 2019 One-man jetpack flight has long tantalized the public. Functioning rocket packs were... Bell Rocket Belt in 1965 to escape villains in “Thunderball.” But the flight duration for such... expectations of flying shoes, platforms, ducted-fan lift devices, rocket belts and jet belts always exceeded
