Sure there is. Ever have a Hot Start/Hung Start/N2 Stagnation/No Lightoff on a turbine engine? Imagine on the jetpack being presented, if any of those start malfunctions occurred on 2 or more engines on one side?
Now granted, some average joe shmoe probably would think of that before trying such a foolhardy stunt. Which would then insure completion of such a disaster.
