Glen Martin invented the 'Martin Jet Pack' he named it after himself. 5000ft above sea level was how high the jetpack flew. At 2000 feet the parachute came out and helped the jetpack come to the ground safely. The jet pack can go out and save people better than a helicopter because it can go places where a helicopter can't. They tested the jetpack in Ashburton and it was piloted by a remote control with a crash-test dummy in the pilot position. They tested with the dummy first then then the person second. The jetpack uses the super fan to get it airborne.
