Jetman powers to new daredevil record


That dude with the jet powered wing-pack performed two aerial loops earlier today and, as unbelievable as this may seem, there isn’t a video of it anywhere on the internet. 
The Swiss Yves Rossy took off from Bercher at 9:45 am (Swiss time) this morning on board of the hot-air balloon "Esprit Breitling Orbiter" , piloted by Brian Jones, to reach an altitude of 2.400 meters in 18 minutes. His wing on his back, the 4 jet-engines turned on, he jumped out of the balloon’s basket. He flew a few minutes to stabilize his wing and find the optimal angle to begin two loopings. Jetman executed a rotation in front of the balloon. Then, he deployed his parachute to land in Denezy (VD).
