Jet Pack Man Speeds into World Record Book

A daredevil set a world speed record for the fastest jet-pack flight on Friday, then broke it again on Saturday ... before smashing it on Sunday.

Eric Scott from Denver took his hydrogen-peroxide-powered jet pack to a record breaking 43mph on Friday at MotorFair, a motor show in Scotland.

Barely 24 hours later he upped this to 54mph before speeding to a James Bond scaring 68mph at the event on Sunday.

The speeds were verified for Guinness by a traffic cop with a Falcon radar gun. Luckily due to the height above the track he was unable to issue Eric a speeding ticket.

Eric said: "I knew this was going to be a special weekend for breaking records. Knockhill is a great location and when the weather improved it was all about going fast!"

Details of the record attempt and the verification data has now been submitted to Guinness World Records who are considering the application.

In November Eric became the first man to fly across the Royal Gorge canyon in Colorado, USA, powered by just a jet-pack.
