Pretty much what I expected when I noticed he wasn’t using a crotch strap like a parachutist or hang glider pilot would use. Uncinched or not, he would have fallen out eventually.
“Gilligan!” is the first thing I thought of when I see the jetpack flying away; second thing is that, if he HAD held on to it, the thrust would either destroy his coffee cup, or at least fill it with a lot of nasty exhaust…

I don’t give a toss about jet packs, but I want to know where the hell those moving sidewalks are that we were promised.

The cup holder is the only thing that would make jet packs commercially feasible. Otherwise, forget it.

Better to make the straps integral to the whole unit.

Didn’t this happen once in a Gilligan’s Island episode?

Uh-oh. that jet pack’s gonna make a big impression when it comes back down! Who will suffer? Maybe the nearby Sedgwick Nuttingham mansion (please)?

Staplers work for the strap/buckle problem.
