Troy Hartman was building a jetpack that he planned to use to fly out of an airplane at 8000 feet. But before leaping from a plane into thin air, he had a great idea: Why not test it out on skis first? Hartman tells PM how his jetpack ski test worked, how fast he went, and just how close the 1500-degree flames came to toasting his rear end.

I think I saw this as a Road Runner / Wile E. Coyote cartoon. If memory serves, the coyote didn’t do well.
Have to ask if Mr. Hartman got his parts from ACME?
I was thinking of Caracticus Potts in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
