A video released by tech company Gravity Industries shows UK commandos testing their latest invention – a jetpack.
The jet-engined powered suit allows a commando to take off from a powerboat and board a much larger vessel from above.
The commandos' journey appears pretty much effortless, despite travelling at substantial speeds and high enough to make palms sweat.
The design of the jetpack allows its user to steer and adjust their speed just by moving their arms.
The jetpack has been clocked at 137km/h.
