Is that some sort of jet pack on their backs or just a modified jump suit to help slow their FPS drop?

Just a special jumpsuit with wings built in. The thing on their backs is the parachute.

those vids make me pucker

There's a vid out there of a guy using one of these suits having an unhappy ending with a bridge... after seeing that, the idea of this lost all of its appeal...

EDIT... found the vid (impact is not shown, but still disturbing)

Sometimes people succeed in suicide attempts......other times they don't.
