Guy flying with a jet-powered wing strapped to his body



whoa this is even cooler than the Martin Jetpack.

However I don't think that I'd want to fly this thing either..

That literally may be the coolest thing I've ever seen. I'd never do it in a million years though.

I was thinking about this - you have quite a good chance of dying.

But then again... the guy's in his 50s. He's probably lived a pretty full life so far. I think trading a little risk for the chance to do something that awesome is a reasoned tradeoff. Later on in the video he talks about safety.

It's dangerous, but probably no more so than things most of us have done in cars when we're younger (driving wasted, far too fast, in the fog etc.)

Maybe if I was in my 70's and couldn't "get it up" anymore, lol....

But MAN, I'm still watching this video. AMAZING!!! You can be like Superman, freakin awesome!!!
 
May not QUITE as impressive as the guys who jump off mountains wearing only a wing suit, but still pretty awesome.

I get a hard-on just thinking about racing these things. Set the race course through a mountain pass - fucking orgasm of adrenaline!
 
Kinda Reminded me of this-
