I saw that yesterday, its pretty awesome, but it would be interesting to see how the "emergency release" situation works.

From the article I saw....
In a recent video released by jetpack manufacturer Gravity Industries, a special ops soldier from the Netherlands Maritime Special Operations Force can be seen sporting a jet suit while boarding a ship.

According to Defense Brief, this particular jet suit can reach a top speed of 37 mph (60 kph) for up to 8 minutes. This new tech could significantly cut down the time boarding on a ship.

Rather than trying to reach the vessel by boat, the jetpack-equipped soldier is spotted hovering and flying to the deck in a swift motion. Plus, he looks like he's having a blast doing it. I wouldn't complain either.

After DARPA officially announced on March 2nd that they are turning their heads towards potential uses of jetpacks in the military, it seems like it's happening sooner than we expected.

Man talk futuristic technology. This is the Shyte that's America the Baddest Mother Fuckers on Earth... It's legit equivalent to a human drone imo.. Throw a .50 cal on him and he's g2g. Maybe a few tiny missiles just incase

I can't see this being used in combat. He would be so easy to shoot.

I'm sure it's not as easy as they make it look to control those jet packs and how are they going to do this if they have somebody shooting at them?
