Which of these, if any would you be willing to fly?

Me? None. I’d need to be 30 years younger and male to feel invincible enough to try one of those things.

Not a chance. You can't autorotate one of those things like a helicopter. So if the SHTF and everything stops (especially the rocket/jet pack things), your day is ruined. I'm not comforted by the fact that some of them are equipped with parachutes. With a helicopter or airplane, as long as the wings or rotor stay attached, you have a chance. On the other hand, some years back we had a fatal accident near here where a helicopter's rotor blades did, in fact, fall off. I think it may have even been an introductory flight for a prospective student.
