Just When You Thought There Was Nothing Left To Worry About

Now you're going to have to keep looking up to make sure a guy wearing a rocket belt isn't about to crash into you. That's right, rocket belts are now available commercially from a guy in Mexico who appears to have far too much time on his hands. Because he's also making rocket powered bicycles.

Anyone who buys the new version will receive a machine to make its rocket fuel, hands-on training and 10 training flights. The firm also offers maintenance and 24-hour support.

Its inventor, Juan Manuel Lozano, who owns Mexican-based Tecnologia Aeroespacial Mexican (TAM), describes the Rocket Belt as "the most spectacular flying machine ever developed".

The 52-year-old said the main difference between his belt and the James Bond version is the use of modern materials such as carbon fibre, Kevlar and titanium.

"The Rocket Belt came about as a result of my passion for speed and my love of motorcycles, racing cars, planes, boats, rockets," he said.

Mr Lozano believes the belt could also be an investment for entrepreneurs who could fly it in TV commercials or at event openings.

TAM has also combined a 1,100 horse-power rocket with a mountain bike to create the world's fastest bicycle. The Rocket Bike reached 160mph in just five seconds.

Mr Lozano said: "I had to buy the best and strongest mountain bike. I then built a custom tank and designed a special rocket engine for the bicycle. The results were pretty spectacular."

He is now working on a rocket-powered motorcycle.
