Having recently taken up road downhilling, I want to investigate the feasibility of producing a personal, wearable thrust driven propulsion system. Doesn't have to be terribly powerful, controllability should be via twistgrip maybe. I'm drawing pictures of an ergonomically-designed frame which directs the pressure resulting from the thrust towards the ideal "pushpoints" on the wearer's body. I haven't a clue what's realistic in terms of a propulsion system...anyone excited by the prospect?

Regards,
