* Averted, though perhaps partially used in the game ''[[Cortex Command]]''. Soldiers with jetpacks have the exhaust come out just below their butt, which might normally singe their legs. But, they automatically bring their legs forward when jetting so their legs won't be burned off. There are two downsides: first, if you try to use the jetpack while landing, the solider might fall on its torso rather than feet, resulting in more damage, so the last second before touchdown needs to be jet-less. Second, the game's designers haven't yet made a separate "kneel" animation, so when you try to kneel, the soldier puts his legs in front of him like he's just waking up from bed, and it looks silly. |

* Also averted with The Fury's jetpacks in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater]]'', in which the boosters are outboard on his shoulders. One thing to note: it's rocket-fuel powered. By the way, his flamethrower ''also uses rocket fuel''. |

* Averted in ''[[wikipedia:Outwars|Outwars]]''; the jetpacks have the nozzles rotated by 45 degrees so that they can't possibly hurt the operator. The way this is depicted is not perfectly logical, as such an orientation would waste half the power of the pack attempting to move the operator horizontally against itself, but it's still better than having your lower half vaporized... |

* In ''[[World of Warcraft]]'', for the airship battle event in Icecrown Citadel, players may equip themselves with jetpacks that allow flight to the opposing faction's airship. These jetpacks appear to operate in the traditional "toast your buns" fashion, and even get their lack of safety lampshaded by the dialog of the player accepting them. But what's particularly hilarious is that Druids can equip them while [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|shapeshifted]] into Dire Bear form, resulting in a bear with a jetpack literally strapped to its butt. |
