The jetpack is the consummate icon of the early years of science fiction. This device represents the ultimate in convenience and personal mobility. Just strap this backpack-sized object on and travel anywhere you'd want to go. Never mind the actual technological challenges in making such a device practical. However, the standard depiction of the jetpack in media has one problem: The proximity of the jet exhaust to the seat of the pilot's pants. Without some Unobtainium-level heat protection, the pilot's rear, thighs, and possibly calves would get charred to carbon within minutes (or seconds) of firing the thing up. Yet going back through all the rocket man serials of the 1930s and the homages to them, we see no attempt to shield the Jet Pack operator from this simple operational hazard. This issue is likely ignored for the same reason that no-one ever calls anyone on Convection, Schmonvection: If the flames aren't visibly in contact with the pilot (or visible at all in the case of certain combustible gases), then "obviously" there'll be no harm. An actual technical way of avoiding this trope, of course, would be to have the thrusters mounted by the shoulders and/or pointing outwards with the thrust directed away from the user's body. Subtrope of Joke of the Butt. See also Farts on Fire and Rump Roast. Not to be confused with the hilarious results of sitting on hot things. |

Averted in Mega Man (Classic). Rush turns into a jet platform as he's built for the purpose of being transportation. 6 and 7 have the thrusters outboard of the shoulders on the Jet and Super armors, respectively. Also, characters with built-in flight usually use wings or a rotor system to fly. In the Mega Man X series, flying bosses use wings or leg mounted jets. Even if characters have back mounted jets, those point out from the back, not towards the ground. Being robots that are constructed in a way that they operate fine in snow, underwater and Lethal Lava Land doesn't hurt either. | |

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 shapeshifted into Dire Bear form, resulting in a bear with a jetpack literally strapped to its butt. To quote a video that parodies this: ROCKET BARE! BURNIN' OUT HIS FUSE OUT HERE ALONE! | |

Subverted in The Adventures of Dr. McNinja as Doc meets a man using a jetpack and immediately tries to treat his leg-burns. Apparently, the dinosaurs who sponsor the whole jetpack thing (it really does make sense in context) deliberately use this style, as they are hunting the humans and aren't particularly concerned about their well-being. | |

Homestuck: Averted with John's Rocket Pack, which is so large that it extends to the floor, and the exhaust comes out below the feet. Played straight with Terezi's Wing Pack, which has the engine in the usual rump-roasting place. Then you get the cyborged Spades Slick, whose posterior is the jetpack. |

Exploited in one installment of MAD Magazine that had a comic strip showing a pilot being sent to a hangar to report to the base's local Mad Scientist. The scientist tells him he's overqualified and gives him a jetpack, and is told to arch his back. The pilot was actually meant to test a pair of bionic legs. | |

Jetpacks tend to avert this in Halo; the thrusters are usually placed around the shoulders, to the side, and/or pointing away from the user. It also helps that the soldiers who use jetbacks tend to be well-armored. | |

Gaston Lagaffe designs a jetpack but when he tests it, it ends up burning up his ass and making him run around screaming in pain because the propulsors were badly angled. After turning off the fire, Fantasio remarks that while it doesn't do much vertical performance, it does a lot of horizontal performance. | |

The Rocketeer tries to Hand Wave this by suggesting that the alcohol-based fuel will result in a cooler flame (which is true)— but said fuel will not produce nearly enough energy. Points for trying, though. In fact, the Rocketeer is flat-out bizarrely inconsistent about this — in one scene, the jets set fire to the set, but in another a sheet is directly exposed to the flames for several seconds without even being singed. | |

Mechwarrior, BattleTech's spinoff roleplaying game, features jump packs and jump infantry, who are explicitly stated to have fire retardant armor padding in their rear portion. Troopers in heavier Power Armor have jets integrated into the exterior of their battle suits separated from themselves by several inches of ablative armor, and thus don't have this issue at all. | |

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. | |

Warhammer 40,000: Averted by the jetpacks used by Space Marines and Sisters of Battle, which are built so that the exhaust flies outward at an angle from the body of the flier. Their legs are nowhere near the danger zone. Being clad in Power Armor probably helps too. Grav-chutes used by the Imperial Guard have a similar design, though they are less powerful and are used only for descent. Ork jetpacks are brutally utilitarian, consisting of a missile without a payload (or sometimes with, they're not picky), and the toasting becomes a non-issue due to their comedic superhuman toughness (they can survive decapitation if there's a dok around to stitch them back up). |

Possibly averted in most of the Duke Nukem games, where Duke's jetpack doesn't appear to blast anything dangerous out of the bottom. From the noise and lack of flame, it would appear Duke's jetpack is more of a ducted-fan type of thing rather than any sort of combustion engine. | |

Averted in Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles, where the jets are mounted on heatproof Powered Armor, and used only for landing (slowing the fall rather than actually flying) after a drop. | |

Averted in Thunderball, which has a real frickin' jetpack, with the nozzles well clear of the body. (Though the sound effect was changed because Reality Is Unrealistic). | |

City of Heroes has plenty of jetpacks. Some follow this trope, others avert it by having the jets spaced away from the body. | |

Spoofed in J-Men Forever when a Gag-Dubbed Commando Cody complains that his feet are on fire, along with the many other problems of using an atomic-powered jetpack. | |
