Fun thought experiment is imagine the jetpack had infinite fuel and was 100% safe what would you do with it?
For me I'd probably just go get a slice of pizza heh

That said, if you're not flying high enough... if it's just the jet pushing air against the ground... you will go splat.
I'd use it for frickin' everything. Commuting would be so nice without having to sit in traffic.
Eastern Massachusetts rush hours are brutal. Just zoom straight to your destination using an "as the crow flies" route, and rely on the auto-pilot and collision avoidance to take care of the actual steering while you check your email.
20 miles in 12 minutes. Sweet.
I would just be slightly concerned about collisions with birds.
By the way, if fuel is unlimited, then we could have flying restaurants. They'd have names like High Altitude Café, Cloud Starbucks, etc.
