Thanks, Uncle. I guess I should have invested a few seconds into a web
search before I posted.

My favorite was the outboard motorized unicyle, but I find myself thinking
that a puller would be safer than a pusher.

Also, what about a big drone on a rope? (Shrouded for safety, of course.)
You could have a jet engine as well. (Whoops, I just realized that behind a
jet is problematic.)

When I was trying to find the particular motorized inline skates I'd seen before, I saw something about some fool strapping on a jetpack to push himself along on Rollerblades. I wonder what his "Terminal" velocity will be? ^_^

One of the Science Channel shows (Outrageous Acts of Science, I think) showed a guy
who built a pair of jet powered boots. He put on a wingsuit, jumped out of a hot air ballon,
fired up the boots and flew horizontal until his fuel ran out. The boots provided the thrust,
the wingsuit provided the lift. After the fuel ran out, he glided for a while then pulled his
chute.
