"Just for fun"? I disagree. Sure, looks greatly entertaining, and over water there's barely a chance of getting hurt if a malfunction makes you fall. That's quite nice. (Provided you can take the contraption off before it makes you sink.)
But I immediately see a possible very useful application. This is about as easy to use as an aqua-scooter (which is equally manœuverable and small-sized), but it lifts you up as high as if you were aboard a big boat. Now, imagine a search for people lost at sea, and the rescue ship deploying a small swarm of those high-up, very mobile people in every direction at once. Could help spot castaways pretty fast, and maybe save lives. *If* they don't hover just above the already soaked poor saps with their water-spewing gizmo!
Worth a try, methinks. Remember another odd and silly invention which came to become quite popular and useful, the aeroplane. And what about that wild flappin' ruckus machine called the helicopter?
