Heres the 2/3rd picture in real life,a rare shot of a spacesuited pilot operating a pogo rocket belt http://rocketbelts.americanrocketman.com/pogo/POGO_test_vehical.jpg and heres pic 6/7 the rocket chair http://rocketbelts.americanrocketman.com/rocket-chair.html
I met some of the guys who flew those vehicles, at a rocket belt conference in 2006. Bell really built some wonderful contraptions, but were unable to persuade the Pentagon or NASA to buy any of them.
I was browsing youtube and found a series called L5,you can see the spacesuits starting at 12:00 and some good shots at 17:25 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=padMOR9iZMM
