it looks like a high powered water jet,
i saw this the other day and wondered, not sure if i am remotely right, but watching it was fascinating
Your correct Emmie it is powered by a water jet.
it certainly looks that way, not sure i would fancy having a go though.
It is the power unit from a 'jet boat' on a persons back. The tube is pumping high pressure water from a boat to the unit, it lets the person 'fly' as long as they are attached to the tube.

Answered my own question... its called a jetlev and costs about $130,000 so well out of my price range by a couple of 0's. bloody awesome though, wouldn't mind ago at any resort that had them!!!
They had one on the Gadget Show
you can ride them on the Thames at North Greenwich by O2 - they just bounce up and down and you fly up in the air when it gets high pressure - they dont look very easy to do though

I saw this for the first time on a recent holiday in the Caribbean. I couldn't believe my eyes at first. I think they're quite hard to control, the guy I saw was always falling into the water after about 10 seconds in the air.
