Only the thin people... cause, you know... 240lb weight limit. I imagine high winds (like you'd get up high and/or around a fire) would be problematic.
I believe any "legal issues" would likely end up falling under "Does anyone give a shit/know dick about FAA regs"? Aside from flying over cities I think it's pretty much unenforceable, at least until some jackass knocks someone's teeth out with a stick that was thrown up by down wash when they decided to land on top of a crowd THEN they get to apply FAA regs to him.
Am I wrong for thinking that the first act of nastiness will come in the form of some dude pissing, shitting, or both on his boss' head from a couple hundred feet up?
You'd have to redesign the rest of the craft to acccomodate the bigger and heavier tanks
The "redesign" probably wouldn't be. Ten bucks says the tank sits on top of the engine and gravity feeds down to it. Unbolt the fancy plastic cover on top, undo a hose clamp, pop the tank off and mount one from a bigger lawnmower. It's not exactly consumer-friendly but I think even a moderate DIYer could pull it off.
Though come to think of it that would make it awful to refuel. Hmm.
Actually I don't remember if I found out what grade of fuel the thing uses. A cursory Google search brings up a claim that it's regular auto fuel, which would be consistent with an ultralight, but I haven't seen that in official press.

It's premium gas according to the faq on the company website.
I was referring to the digital camera they built into the machines. It took your picture when you entered your high score, unfortunately somebody decided that this new technology was just right for flashing their... areas... to and, thus, got the camera disabled.

Hilarious firefighters on jetpacks.
Every time there's a new technology introduced with the potential for nastiness, someone is bound to do it.
translation: yes, if you keep it quiet.

I can believe that.
