CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa --(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 21, 2007
A 36 year old Project Jet Pack test subject, recently injured in a harness stress test experiment, has been released from the hospital.
Kevin, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, suffered minor, non-life-threatening injuries when the jet pack harness that he was testing failed. Kevin suffered rope burns and assorted lesser injuries: two broken fibulas, a broken pelvis, and a punctured left lung. Following the test failure, Kevin was transported to Cedar Rapids Baptist Memorial Hospital for "routine observation."
After spending three weeks in intensive care, Kevin has been relocated to his home for the remainder of his recovery.
Kevin expects to be back on the testing field shortly, and released the following statement regarding his partipation in Project Jet Pack:
"I'm very fortunate to have the opportunity to test jet packs - they are the future. My injuries were minimal, especially in comparison to the pain endured by the obese: suffering and stranded without medical care. I will be out there testing jet packs as soon as the doctors clear me."
Dr. Jacob Robert Shrum, founder and spiritual leader of Project Jet Pack, offered his thanks to Kevin for his continued participation in the test phase of the team's work:
"Kevin has been a real inspiration for me. It is on behalf of people like Kevin, and my beloved sister, Jennifer, that this project was formed in the first place. With the good Lord's help, he will be back with us soon."
