Me want.

Thing gives me the heebie-jeebies.

I envision madly clawing at the harness two seconds after
the pump quits as the rig does it's best to bury my
face in the water.

I was waiting for him to lose a foot to one of the water jets.
Other than that, it looked like a helluva lot of fun. It's apparently
shooting water out the back of the jetski hull while pumping most of
it up the hose to the jet pack unit.

Looked like he was dragging the Jetski around to me.
Otherwise the fire hose would kind of push up
into his um. crack.

I'd like an hour on the thing,
wouldn't you?

Sure! I would need the 'unlimited' class jet turbine to keep
my head above water. It'd be a gas but it'd be bloody scary in the event
of a malfunction. [Gurgle gurgle]

Yes, quick-disconnect harness a _must_!

The corrosion-proof variety.
