about Rocket-man, you may want to look at this web site:
http://www.jet-man.com/

Sorry, this swissman speaks only french on his web-site. However, the
videos
are international, and VERY impressive !

Rgds and happy new year 2007

Looks interesting but it requires a plug in that is not available
for my Thunderbird browser. He should use the same video format
as Utube.

Is it powered by a model turbo jet engine or does he just jump
out of airplanes and glide around?

The Rocket Man at the Rose Parade was based on the old Bell hydrogen
peroxide design. Vance was involved/directed  the current update of that
design. As mentioned the owner of the project/product gave a description
and had a video of the project at EAA. Maybe someone has a link to his site.
