    Energy density and Aviation Logistics.
    Even modern iterations of this design can only fly for 30seconds.
    Jet Pack International do shows at events with the H202-Z jetpack which is H2O2 steam powered, like this one.
    Jet P.I. is working the Falcon which runs on commercial jet fuel for 9 mins.
    However Martin Jetpack have a working turbine model which runs for 30mins.
    Also remember all aircraft have to follow the same aviation rules, seeing how most people drive cars I wouldn't want them in the air.

      It’s a Bell Rocket Belt made by Bell Aerosystems made in the mid 1950s. It was demonstrated in 1961 with 5 gal. of hydrogen peroxide as fuel and had 21 seconds of flight time. This rocket belt's propulsion works with superheated water vapour. A gas cylinder contains nitrogen gas, and two cylinders containing highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide. The nitrogen presses the hydrogen peroxide onto a catalyst, which decomposes the hydrogen peroxide into a mixture of superheated steam and oxygen with a temperature of about 740 °C. This was led by two insulated curved tubes to two nozzles where it blasted out, supplying the propulsion. The pilot can vector the thrust by altering the direction of the nozzles through hand-operated controls. To protect from resulting burns the pilot had to wear insulating clothes.
