The man injured on Friday has been discharged from University of Colorado Hospital in Aurora.
Nick Macomber, vice president of Jet Pack International, was initially listed in stable condition after the wreck on the 2600 block of West 8th Avenue.
Dan Weaver, a hospital spokesman, said Monday he could not release further details on Macomber’s condition or say where he was discharged to.
Macomber was performing a demonstration on the property of Denver energy drink company Go Fast.
“He was testing the jet pack,” said Troy Widgery , CEO of Jet Pack International. “He’d made some recent changes. He had some control issues.”
Widgery said Macomber was quick to learn how to wield the jet pack. But something went wrong and he fell about 10 feet.
The hydrogen peroxide-powered jet packs can soar as high as 150 feet, but they can only stay airborne for about 30 seconds.
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the crash.
