Take Off with the Personal Rocket Belt

Could this be the ultimate gadget?

Considered de rigor fashion in our house for visiting mother in laws, the TAM Rocket Belt could see you jetting off to the local off-licence for a pack of beers and back in the blink of an eye. It could also assist in your valiant rescuing of the next-door neighbour’s cat which is stuck in a tree and whose cries for help summoned its owner – in my fantasy: blond, 25 years, tall, single – hastily from the shower. So hastily in fact that she’s completely forgotten to…..(cold shower ensues).

TAM is billed as being the only company in the world to produce a complete turn-key rocket belt package and each belt is custom made to accommodate and perform in line with it’s pilot’s weight – up to 300lbs/136kg.

Retailing at $250,000 the TAM Rocket Belt package comes with full training (non aerobatic), 10 flights strapped to your very own rocket belt (inclusive of cat rescuing techniques) and a machine to develop you own fuel.

If you’ve ever wanted to feel like a true James Bond, and you have quarter of a million dollars going spare, you have a choice. A TAM Rocket Belt or an Aston Martin. And if this is too difficult a choice to make, then think about your next-door neighbour for a moment.

No, I thought not. But here’s a link to the TAM Website anyway.
