Jetpack guy sees problem, calls in real helicopter.....
All of your scenarios imply that Mr. Jetpack has to save the day by him / her self. Real rescues are a team sport.
That said, it isn't a compelling sort of thing to own. Expensive, likely cranky of maintenance and training. Limited range. More useful to get a bunch of cheap drones and running around looking for people to help.
