Daredevil crosses Royal Gorge with jet pack

Eric Scott used a hydrogen-peroxide powered jet pack to cross the Royal Gorge near Cañon City, Colorado on Monday.


He used a technology long ago abandoned by the military.

The Royal Gorge is 1,500 feet across and 1,100 feet deep.

The flight was completed in just 21 seconds. The jet pack has a flight limit of 30-seconds so there was little margin for error.
