That looks like a more reasonably proved version of another one I saw that sold for over $100K. That looks really fun and a blast to do.

Been sitting here trying to analyze that contraption. Guess I would have to say that the lads in the video clip are very well trained or experienced with the thing. The likely downfall of it here in US is when some of the idiots that have jet skis that have no clue to start with about real boating, navigation rules, water safety etc. get hold of it and start flying themselves into bridges, docks, nose diving into too shallow water or other boats and killing themselves. Gonna stop myself before I get too much on a rant about irresponsible people on the water and totally off this subject. Anyway I commend the guy who thought of this and engineered it. It was probably a guy or a few of his buddies just tinkering and thinking what if that came up with the idea. That's good stuff.

I first saw someone doing this on TV or youtube with powerful pump and hose and it worked similiar to the rocket belts seen in the past but with lots of water.

It seems thay are using their jetskis for as the pump which is pretty creative in my book. That said stay away from real boaters. 8)
