ENVER - A daredevil hopes to propel himself across a southern Colorado canyon using a jet pack powered by hydrogen peroxide.
Eric Scott tells the Rocky Mountain News he's never travelled as far as he wants to Monday - 457 metres.
The Royal Gorge is more than 335 metres deep.
A bridge spanning it was the site of a deadly stunt in 2003 when a parachute jumper miscalculated and fell.
Scott works for Denver-based Jet P.I. The company developed a jet
pack for stunts and promotions that is based on one developed in the
1960s for the military.
The original one could fly for only about 20 seconds.
The new one can go for more than 30 seconds at faster than 113 kilometres an hour.
If this guy ain't a zombie now, he soon will be.
