It's not every day you look up into the sky and see some random bloke with a jetpack casually whizzing past the birds and building tops.

That was the strange sight that met residents in Dublin, Ireland, on Wednesday, though.

Some fella flying down the Liffey with a jetpack #dublin #liffey @todayfm @98FM @rtenews @FM104 pic.twitter.com/OJCoq2qRRp— Glen Dillon (@GlencDillon) March 9, 2016

The unnamed man in the clip flew along the River Liffey before coming to land on a raft marked with branding for the Samsung Galaxy S7.

The guy who shot the first video, Quentin Doran O'Reilly, is also a Senior Samsung PM, so we're guessing the jetpack was a stunt to tie in with the launch of their new smartphone Friday.

Still pretty damn cool, though.
