"Currently, the $100,000 machine can only hover for around 30 minutes and rise to 8,000 feet, and those who sign up to purchase one will first have to complete 15 hours of flight training as well as a "safety screening." Check out an all-too-short video after the jump to see the device lift off, float around and land -- totally underwhelming, but the optimistic few will surely see promise."

Looks cool, but you do NOT want that thing to fail at any point. That would suck. Unless there's a parachute hidden somewhere.

A parachute would be fine if it fails when you are up high.
What if it fails at like 50 feet.
I doubt a parachute would be able to deploy fast enough at a low elevation. And even if it did it wouldnt have enough time to slow you down enough to not kill you.

does it come with the 2 guys to help it hover?
