You can jump up into it as long as you don't actually destroy the
fan first - I suppose the theory is that the fan sucks you up
(personally I was expecting to get sliced into pieces though).

A neat pipe bomb trick on the secret level - after the room with the pool
of slime there is a circular room with a ramp running around the outside
and a gun turret.  If you go up the ramp and stand on the platform 
facing the turret, you can throw a pipe-bomb and set it off
it mid-air destroying the turret.

I found the easiest way to kill the boss was to use the jetpack to 
hover in mid-air where he can't shoot you, then RPG him like mad.
