Fusion Man

When I saw a picture of a man with wings flying high in the sky, I had to make sure it wasn’t a photshoped image. Jetman Yves Rossy the aviation enthusiast who calls himself “Fusion Man”, became the first person to fly with jet-fuel powered wings strapped to his back!

Fusion Man completed several loops at 300km/h (186mph) above the Alps. Take a look at this video below.

Yves Rossy was born August 27, 1959) and is a Swiss pilot (previously a Swiss fighter pilot) who invented a wing that is powered by jets which you can strap to your back. He is the first to fly this contraption and the flight lasted 6 minutes.

And I thought bike riding around Bear lake was extreme :)
