A Swiss pilot, Yves Rossy made a big decision and took a big step out of a Pilatus Porter aircraft 7500 feet (2300 m) above the ground over the Swiss Alps. Before he stepped out of the plane, he unfolded a special wing attached to his back equipped with four jet tubines. The engines speed up the flier to 186 miles per hour (300 km/h).
He even maneuvered a little bit. He made a perfect 360 degree roll “just to impress the girls” as he said. Although he said the flight was not any more stressy than riding a motorbike, he had a yellow handle to pull in case a parachute would have been needed. It wasn’t.
Well, i think we will still have to wait a little until it will become a natural way to get to work during high traffic hours.

Wow, sounds like someting out a movie, that must be a rush!
I watched that one on the news yesterday..
I was amazed as I saw him flying.. to think that it is connected to his body.. very dangerous..
I think he is planning to jump on a much more wider place.. i forgot the exact place that are mentioned in the news..
I think his next plan is the Grand Canyon. And yes, that’s right, carrying jet engines and thus fuel on your body is like carrying a big bomb.
but is it any different then sitting on an airplane…I mean as far as this bomb thing is concerned…
I want one of thooooooseee!
