They were ahead of the curve in back-to-the-future.

Do you have to wear the "Darth Vader with a Flotation Collar" suit to ride/fly it?

OK, so in the backpack you carry enough fuel for a 10 minute flight...so where is your parachute for when the thing flames out on you unexpectedly ? ?

Just carry jumper cables, a water hose or extension cord along.
You Know you can't get ten feet without the blasted things hanging up on Something.

Read my above post, Lancer. The government has that covered. Seatbelts! Or, on the upgraded model, airbags! ;D

I've only ever seen videos of them flying over water at fairly low levels.

If I was the test pilot on this thing I would have to insist on flying over water at low altitudes. You wonder how many CRASH SPLASHES he had before getting some photo shots of him actually hovering. Or ... maybe the photo we see is just an instant slice of a video of him BEFORE he crashed !

Having the propulsion under you.....is inherently unstable. With no flaps, wings, etc. to guide the motion - it is a delicate balancing act, and most likely it could not be done without some form of computer stability control (like the Segway).

I wonder what happens when you hit the water with that. :-?

I'll be very excited to WATCH someone fly that thing.

is powered by four engines of 250 horsepower each.

Can you imagine having just one of those tiny, powerful engines and building a radio control airplane? Talk about FAST,
I'm not seeing how they are able to get that power from such tiny engines or Why a hover board would need 1,000 HP, seems like a trade for less power and more time aloft would be good. But, I guess if ten thousand feet is the goal, you Better be getting there pretty quick.
The pilots who haul parachuters up may see a drop in business. A small chute for the gizmo, and cut away. Friends on the ground retrieve it, fuel it,
Next!
Three or four people get together and have a blast.

I wish people would quit calling these gizmos hoverboards. They are closer to the Green Goblin's glider than Back to the Future Hover Boards.
