Might as well try the jetpack. The entire point of reading Goosebump stories is to explore various ridiculous or gross ways to die.

Since Thal suggested that earlier, too:

You struggle to yank the jet pack off the suit.
But there are so many clips and straps and buckles. And the space glove on your hand isn't helping.
The robot arm is dragging itself closer and closer...
Maybe the space glove is making you too clumsy to unstrap the jet pack.
Should you throw it away? Or hang on to it?

Throw the space glove away? Cross Space Glove off your inventory list.
Hang on and keep trying to unstrap the jet pack?

We're here for the glove. And entertaining demise. Both seem best served by hanging onto the glove :D.

That is annoying, but makes perfect sense. Keep the glove.

"Come on," you mutter at the jet pack. The screech of the robot arm dragging itself toward you sends shivers up your spine.
You yank desperately on a clamp.
HISSSSSSSS!
You jump back. You've started up the jet pack! The space suit shoots toward the ceiling.
Your heart sinks as you watch the suit zoom off without you. Then a cold metal claw grips your throat.
This robot arm is a real pain in the neck!
GAME OVER

(Here's a hint: You need the boomerang to beat the robot arm. The boomerang is somewhere on this floor.)

I didn't add the hint, that's in the book. What now?

Go get the boomerang from the aerospace displays, I guess.

You yell at me for making terrible puns elsewhere and yet you willingly quote from a book making a far worse one?! Commie bastard.

Your "gotcha" moment fails for two reasons:
1. You know that the post-kill pun is a thing, and Stine did time that one properly. "Urnexpected" is a bad pun (and let's not delude ourselves, a worse one than "a pain in the neck" even if it's more original) that is not being timed at all.
2. I am neutrally quoting a book that happens to make bad puns. You are willingly inserting bad puns into threads.

Anyways:

You decide to check out the Aerodynamics Room.
"Cool," you murmur as you enter. There are model aircraft everywhere. And models of birds and other flying creatures.
There's also a big flight simulator like the ones pilots train in. Hey! Maybe it has a radio like a real plane, you think. I could use it to call for help.
What should you check out first?

The model aircraft?
Or maybe the model birds?
Give the flight simulator a test flight?
Leave the room?

Damn you and your lemonade!

Yeah, the boomerang is more likely to be with the planes than the birds.

2-1 in favor of checking out the models aircraft:

You walk over to the model aircraft.
In addition to planes, you spot blimps, helicopters, even hang gliders. Too bad they're just models. Otherwise you could hang glide out of this crazy hall.
But that gives you an idea...
Maybe if you got all the helicopters working together, they could lift you! You could fly out the window and all the way home!
What do you think?

Think it's a stupid, crazy idea?
Give it a shot?

"It just might work!" you mutter.
You find the remote control for the helicopters.
But how are you going to attach yourself? You spot an exhibit on parachutes. The parachute in the glass case seems kind of old, but the harness is in very good shape.
You slip into the harness. You tie the ropes to the model helicopters.
Then you push the start button, and gulp...

The helicopters whine as they start up.
They lift off from their stands, tugging at the ropes of your harness. Then they pull you up into the air!
It worked!
You push the joystick on the remote control.
But it doesn't seem to do anything.
Uh-oh.

You try to stop yourself, but your feet are dangling above the ground. There's nothing you can do. The copters carry you out of the Aerodynamics Room and up towards the ceiling.
The whine of their little blades grows stronger and stronger. You're going way too fast.
You're headed for the skylight!
CRASH!

You're so close to freedom!
But the helicopters get crushed in the crash. Shards of glass and bits of propeller fly everywhere as you plummet to the floor.
You've just demonstrated a basic rule of science:
What goes up must come down!
GAME OVER

Where to now?
Ignore the helicopters?
Flying birds?
Flight simulator?
Space capsule?

You dart over to the models of flying animals.
You notice bats, hawks, bumblebees. Then one model catches your eye. It's a big mosquito, over a foot long.
You gulp as you stare at it. You know it's made of plastic, but it looks so real!
You dare yourself to touch it. A shiver goes up your spine as you cautiously put one finger on the giant insect.
Then something horrifying happens.

The model buzzes to life before you!
You scream as it rises up off the display case. Its wings are a vibrating blur. Its long bloodsucking tube turns towards you. It looks like a huge needle.
You back away, stumbling in fear.
What should you do?

Run for the door?
Try to swat it?
If you have the boomerang, you can throw it at the mosquito if you want.

If we need an item to fight it, I suggest running away.

That probably won't work if it doesn't check for that if we try to come back here. Fight and hope its a dice roll.

You dash for the door out of Aerodynamics. But the giant mosquito overtakes you. It descends in front of you, blocking your way out.
It moves towards you. The hideous bloodsucking tube is only a few feet away.
You've got to get away from it!
But how?

Jump into the flight simulator?
Try to run past the mosquito and out the door?

Something new will try to kill us in the flight simulator, so lets go there.
